Welcome — I’m Amy, a trauma-informed psychotherapist with over 10 years’ experience supporting adults through trauma, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or repeating patterns that no longer make sense, therapy can offer a space to slow things down and understand what’s really going on. I help clients make sense of their inner world, reduce emotional distress, and create meaningful, lasting change. My style is warm, collaborative, and gently direct — supportive without being vague.

It takes strength and courage to reach out for help, but it can be confusing which profession to go with. Contact me to arrange a free 15 minute discovery call to see if CBT is the right fit for you. I specialise in anxiety disorders, working with adults creating short term goals for long term mental well-being. I also work with parents experiencing anxiety, overwhelming worries, panic, OCD, intrusive thoughts, social or health anxiety. Working together, we can explore unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and develop positive coping strategies.

As an HCPC-registered Art Psychotherapist, I offer a calm and creative space where children, young people and adults can explore feelings safely through art and play. You don’t need to be good at art – it’s simply a way to express emotions and make sense of experiences when words are hard to find. With over 25 years’ experience supporting children and families, including many years in early years care and education, I’m passionate about helping primary aged children and children under-5s and their parents build emotional connection and resilience. My approach is gentle, relational, and rooted in empathy, creativity, and trust.

Hello I'm Emma, an Integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor, offering online and face to face weekly sessions from a garden room. Experiencing myself how therapy supports the most difficult times in life, I come alongside you, and together we can take the steps which are most important to you. Whether it's the pain of grief, loss, trauma, anxiety, depression or you just feel lost or in a rut. Stuck in a cycle of unhealthy relationships, or patterns of behaviour that you want to change. I believe there are times we all need support to understand ourselves and look at how we perceive a changing world and where we fit into it.

I believe that a respectful and non-judgmental environment is crucial to therapy, this is an essential element of the way I work. I always welcome whole authentic feelings from my clients, without putting a negative label on them.

The decision to come to counselling is a courageous step - facing our difficulties is never easy but can be liberating.

I work with those who feel something isn’t quite right, even if it’s hard to explain. You may feel anxious, stuck, or caught in patterns, especially in relationships, often holding things together for others while struggling yourself. You might find it difficult to express your needs, or feel unheard or misunderstood. I offer a space where you don’t have to do that — where we can explore what’s behind it, helping you make sense of your experiences and create meaningful, lasting change.

Taking the step to ask for help is often the hardest thing we do. I think as adults we feel as if we "should be able to cope" or "others have it harder" and that in some way needing help or someone to talk to in difficult times is showing a weakness. We invest time and money in keeping our bodies in shape and while that is the vehicle that gets us through our life we need to care for our other parts too. Our emotions and our relationships constantly need recognition and yet we only seek help when we reach a crisis point. So whether you are at a crisis point or struggling with anxiety, depression or a bereavement I am here to help.

I get it. I've been there. You seem confident, ambitious and are always there for others. People think you lead a great life but it doesn’t always feel that way. You got through childhood and teenage years and have lots to be grateful for. Despite all of your effort and achievement in life, something doesn't feel quite right. An anxious, nagging feeling sits in your mind and body and makes you uncomfortable in your own skin. You’ve ignored it and carried on but you have many questions. It’s frustrating and exhausting but something has prompted you to find answers. You want to be more relaxed within yourself and feel good enough.
