Amy Neave, NCPS

Amy Neave is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people dealing with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, trauma and recovery, and struggles with self-esteem and identity. Amy also supports people managing ADHD, autism, compulsive people-pleasing and codependency patterns.

Amy describes her work as relational and human-centred. Sessions focus on noticing how thoughts, feelings and behaviours keep patterns repeating. She invites people to name unhelpful beliefs such as "I am not enough" and to try small, practical changes that feel manageable.

Therapy with Amy may include exploring attachment patterns and how they affect current relationships. She uses techniques drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-informed conversation and emotionally-focused methods. The aim is often clearer emotional awareness and better ways of responding, not quick fixes.

Amy has experience supporting neurodivergent clients, including people with ADHD and autism. She adjusts pacing and communication to match how someone thinks and processes. This can mean a different rhythm of sessions and more practical, sensory or grounding strategies.

She asks people to think about what matters most to them and to try actions that align with those values. Practical tools for managing overwhelm, grief, anger or addictive behaviours are offered alongside reflective conversations about identity and relationships.
