Amy Neave , NCPS

Amy Neave is a qualified counsellor who creates a calm, compassionate space for people to reconnect with themselves and their needs. She is NCPS registered, a registration that indicates professional training and qualification as a counsellor, and she is the founder of Amy's Safe Space offering online counselling for clients aged 15 and above.

Amy works with people facing anxiety, low mood, relationship challenges, trauma, addictions, and many other concerns. She supports clients in exploring emotions, thought patterns, and relational dynamics with curiosity rather than judgment. Her approach emphasises empathy, active listening, and a gentle, relational style that adapts to each person - meeting clients at their pace and focusing on their goals.

Many of the beliefs that hold people back are patterns learned over time, such as thinking I am not enough or I must be perfect. Amy helps people gently challenge those patterns and cultivate self-compassion, emotional clarity, and confidence. She also offers practical tools for nervous system regulation and grounding while holding room for acceptance alongside growth.

Amy has experience working with neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD and autism, and aims to provide a flexible, respectful environment where different ways of thinking and communicating are understood rather than pathologised. She is not accepting new clients at this time.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Amy commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside a client-centered way of working. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without struggling with them and then take values-led steps toward a more meaningful life - it is useful for anxiety, low mood, and getting unstuck from unhelpful patterns.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current connections, helping people explore attachment styles and improve communication and emotional safety in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and offers empathic understanding to support growth and self-awareness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amy works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to identify what fits best based on an individual's needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods over time to match progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy with Amy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living in different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support in a way that suits a person's life and comfort level.
