Im passionate about helping people restore their sense of self-worth and confidence in order to regain control over their lives. I work with a wide variety of adults and adolescents in crisis, and people experiencing ongoing mental health issues (such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD) as a result of adversity, trauma, and violence. I empower individuals who have experienced adversity and oppression, through exploring existing competencies, strengths and inherent resilience. I’m person-centred, flexible and practical, ensuring you feel supported, and your individual needs are addressed in a non-judgemental and open environment.

It's OK to feel daunted by the prospect of counselling; sessions with me will be collaborative and will go at your own pace. There will be no judgment, you won't have to talk about anything that feels too painful until you are ready and I will not tell you what to do. Sometimes people think they have to be “crazy” or have mental health issues, or have experienced a severe trauma to see a therapist. My response is, if it’s important to you, then it’s worth talking about with someone. It doesn’t matter how small you think the issue is, talking about it can help.

Imagine feeling truly understood, supported, and empowered to create the life you want. My ideal client is someone navigating the challenges of trauma, ADHD (diagnosed or undiagnosed), or the ripple effects of difficult relationships. Perhaps you’re struggling to manage overwhelming emotions, feeling stuck in self-doubt, or finding it hard to focus on your goals. You might be seeking clarity in your relationships, striving for confidence in your decisions, or simply wanting to feel more in control of your life. I get it—it can feel exhausting to carry these struggles on your own.

Hey! I’m Amy, a chill, down-to-earth therapist. I do not claim to be an expert with all the answers, and I am not here to judge you. I care about creating a space together where you can be real and share your story. We can explore what’s going on for you in the moment, your thoughts, feelings, body sensations, and talk about how you make sense of it all. My particular practice is all about slowing down and getting curious. I believe the most meaningful change comes from understanding and accepting who you are, not forcing yourself to be something different. I’m big on connection, creativity, and having a bit of fun along the way.

Hello! I am Jordi, the director of Jigsaw Psychology & Assessment. I would describe myself as highly empathetic, easy to talk to, but as someone who can also be direct when needed. I have a keen interest in helping people understand and work through the true causes of anxiety; understanding and processing trauma; and also working with neurodivergent people. While I am well trained in CBT, and frequently utilise it, I am also interested in what is underlying presenting concerns, and how to best tackle them. This can look different depending on the client, but it is always something I am keen to explore.
