About me

The way I work as a therapist is very much a result of the pathway I took to get here.  It started with my own journey to improve my mental health.  This led me to personal counselling and then later a psychology degree – as I sought to deepen my understanding of the human psyche.

My first and second years focused on childhood development and psychology and social psychology, before my final year which was focused on counselling and forensic psychology.  It was during this time that my passion for counselling was first ignited. 

The humanistic approach of counselling, where empathy, respect, and the inherent value of every person felt like a place where I could help others to make meaningful changes that improve their well-being.  Much like my own counsellor had done for me years earlier. 

Continuing my professional development by beginning my counselling training I completed an integrative training program.  The four years covered predominantly person-centred, psychodynamic, and CBT, as well as other theories in lesser detail.  My background and interest in psychology means my approach leans towards the psychoanalytic and behavioural theories. 

My training provides me with the knowledge and tools to support clients from the age of 4 for in person work and from 11 for remote. If you are interested in booking a session and would like to know more about my session rates, you can view this information here. 

So, whether you are seeking support for yourself or a loved one, if you feel that I could be a good fit for you then I am here to listen and to work with you on your journey to a better and healthier future. 

I hope you find what you need and wish you the best.

Amy.
