As a mature experienced counsellor also qualified to train others, I can help you with anxiety, depression, bereavement and a host of relationship based problems.
Are you looking for help with anxiety or depression? Is it hard to make sense out of your life and your identity as a male or female?...whether its work, family, or relationship related?...are you willing to work honestly and to be challenged?...you will be hoping for an empathic and non judgemental approach...and will be prepared to focus on how you and I can work together to bring about the changes that you need in your life. Are you open to new ways of working on old problems, even if the journey feels rather scary? You won't be alone in this process. Couples therapy is a specialism and I am also a "male friendly" therapist.

My name is Amy! I am often introduced to children and young people when they are at their most vulnerable and experiencing difficulties in their everyday life including school, friendships and homelife. This can be deeply distressing for the whole family. However, it is never too late to begin the healing process together and start repair work in therapy. Most families choose to use the Aylsham studio for their sessions but sometimes I can work in schools or residential homes where appropriate.

I have experience working with Anxiety, Cancer, Depression, Bereavement, Neurodivergence and Trauma; including adult survivors of childhood neglect.
Hello, and welcome to my page. Life can be difficult at times and we may need someone to talk to about our overwhelming feelings, or help us to expand our thinking. We can get stuck in a negative cycle, or have a deep sense of being lost, alone, different or unsure of who we are. There maybe something current that you are struggling with and need space to talk about, or there might be something historical you would like help to understand. As a relational practitioner I believe that a safe and supportive environment is an important part of the healing process and will form the foundations of our work together.

Through counselling we can explore whatever you bring, such as but not limited to trauma, abuse (of all kinds), identity issues, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders & loss.
I'm an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor- which means that I am trained in and draw from the three main schools of thought and tailor my approach to you; not applying any particular method but rather meeting you where you are, and going from there. As there is no one set way of being, I believe there is no one set way of working therapeutically with another, so our therapeutic relationship is important. I offer a free 30 minute consultation to look at what brings you to counselling, any queries you may have, and to see how we 'fit' and how you feel about the prospect of beginning sessions with me.

How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
