Amy Hughes

In a world where we are more connected than ever, we often feel lonely, losing connection with ourselves and ones who we are closest to. Are you experiencing negative thoughts towards yourself, struggling with confidence or feelings of anxiety? Do you feel like a bad person if you put your own needs before others or perhaps unsure what your needs even are anymore? Perhaps you feel like a burden if you talk about how you feel? Do you think you are letting everyone down if you say no so you continue to say yes but dread it?

We often become unsure where to turn when we need help, or even where to start. We can begin to feel hopeless and trapped. We desperately want change but not sure how to take the smallest step forward. We want to stop feeling anxious, stressed or low, to have choices in life, to find an old you, or a new version of yourself, to discover hope and direction. Looking into counselling is an amazingly brave first step to change your current situation.

Hi, my name is Amy and I am an online counsellor.

Firstly let me start by saying that I understand asking for help is very often a scary prospect and it may take weeks, months or even years to find the courage and reach out to a therapist… So however long it has taken, I am here and happy to listen. Speaking to a stranger about your worries can feel daunting. Sometimes a misconception of counselling is that you have to be at your worst to go see a counsellor, this is absolutely not true, anyone can find talking through their thoughts and the emotions to someone trained to listen, without judgement, is extremely empowering. Counselling gives you the space to find yourself, your strength and your voice. You don’t need to do this alone. I am here to face those scary moments with you, to help you find a path you are excited to discover, a part of yourself you have lost and need back, or tackle a time you wish you could move on from.

I am qualified and specialise in online counselling. Having counselling online gives you the freedom to fit therapy into your day. In the comfort of your own space we will explore together what your goals are and build a new stronger foundation which you will take with you throughout your life. No need to travel to appointments or wait in a waiting room, simply find a quiet spot for a video call. You can be flexible with your day, but still prioritise your mental wellbeing.

Please contact me if this profile has spoken to you. I offer a free 30 minute introductory video call to meet and answer any questions you may have and see if we can suitably work together.

I also have an Instagram page @startblossoming if you would like to follow me for motivation, inspiration and tips on managing your emotional wellbeing.  

I wish you the very best in the search for the right counsellor for you and taking the brave decision to prioritise yourself and your mental health.
