Amy Cumber
Practical support for stress and change
About Amy
Amy Cumber welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start. She introduces a calm, down-to-earth presence and helps clients take small steps toward clearer thinking and better coping. Amy is a BACP counsellor with five years of experience in the United Kingdom.
Amy works with many common struggles such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions and grief. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, and life changes like separation or bereavement.
Background and approach
Her practice includes additional focus areas such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, autism and Asperger syndrome, and care for those with chronic illness. Her style combines listening with practical direction. Sessions centre on the client’s experience and priorities while introducing tools where they help most.
Amy uses client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to manage unhelpful thoughts and build steadier routines. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time and solution-focused methods to set clear, achievable goals. Amy aims to be both warm and gently challenging, so clients can try new responses and notice what shifts.
Therapy is offered in English and provided through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling sessions according to availability.

How Amy’s approaches work online
Amy uses client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy as core ways of working. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities, with the counsellor following the client’s lead and offering empathetic reflection. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thought and behaviour patterns and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, lift mood and change unhelpful routines.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up by them. These practices can support trouble sleeping, stress, and impulsive responses. Together these approaches offer both understanding and hands-on tools to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will discuss your goals, preferences and practical needs and then suggest ways of working. That decision is collaborative and may adapt over time as progress and life circumstances change.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible in different formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into busy days or use less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options help people keep continuity with therapy and fit sessions around work, caregiving or other commitments.
