About Amy Butterworth
Amy Butterworth is a person-centred counsellor who works in a holistic, collaborative and pluralistic way, meeting people where they are and offering a calm, supportive environment to explore difficult feelings. She aims to create a space in which clients feel heard and accepted, moving at a pace that suits each individual and, when helpful, drawing on techniques from other therapeutic approaches to support progress.
Amy is BACP registered - a counsellor and psychotherapist listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings clinical experience supporting people with a broad range of challenges. Her work has included supporting those experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship and financial difficulties, domestic violence, and sexual abuse.
In private practice she often focuses on antenatal and postnatal concerns, including pregnancy-related distress, miscarriage, baby loss and abortion, and birth-related trauma. She also draws on nine years of maternity experience working within the NHS and is an accredited practitioner with the Foundation for Infant Loss, which informs her understanding of pregnancy and postnatal matters.
More recently Amy has developed a personal and professional interest in neurodiversity, particularly ASD and ADHD, sparked by her experience as a carer for a child with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). This lived experience shapes her interest in working with parents and carers of family members with SEND and in offering practical, empathetic support to families navigating those challenges.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?
Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a meaningful difference. For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.One key benefit is flexibility. People can connect in the format that feels most comfortable to them: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into the rhythms of daily life, reducing travel time and opening access for those with busy schedules or mobility needs.
Licensed professionals provide care in these formats, and therapists can be changed if a different fit is needed. For many individuals, remote therapy offers an effective, adaptable way to engage with therapeutic support while maintaining continuity of care.
