Have you ever considered therapy intensives/retreats? You may be exhausted from trying to cope, repeating the same patterns, or feeling like nothing you try brings real relief. You want to feel like yourself again — calmer, clearer, more connected — and you’re craving a therapy experience that actually moves things forward. Whether you’re carrying trauma, anxiety, heartbreak, burnout, or relationship pain, you’re looking for something deeper and more transformative than “just talking.” You want lasting change, not more waiting.

I have been working as a qualified therapist in London for over two decades offering evidence based therapies. My roles within the NHS have been both clinical and managerial and offering both one to one and group therapy. I work with clients presenting with a wide range of difficulties who wish to develop self awareness, make changes and build resilience. For many, these difficulties may appear as a dip in mood, feeling stuck, or an increase in anxiety. For others, they may feel lost, overwhelmed, or experience a lack of purpose.

We can all benefit from creating spaces of reflection and connection in our lives. Psychotherapy can be useful not only in helping people in severe psychological distress, but also in facilitating self-discovery, insight and growth, particularly during times of difficulty, change and transition. Greater curiosity about one’s self and increased self-awareness can help to bring recognition to, and shift, unhelpful patterns of behaviour. This insight can also increase the capacity to cope with challenging situations; contribute to building more meaningful relationships; & create space for a rich, meaningful and balanced life.

Beginning therapy can be difficult, that’s why I believe in creating a bespoke experience for all my clients to ensure their needs are met within my therapeutic limits. Perhaps you have reached a point where continuing without help has proven to be impossible and affecting your relationship - not only with others but yourself too. Then it’s time to work on gently, compassionately healing those parts that are no longer serving you. If you have experienced: childhood adversity, identity difficulties, migrations and cultural challenges, relationships blocks, then this might be the approach for you.

Do you feel stressed or worried or perhaps stuck in some way and need someone to talk to? Life can get especially hard when you are struggling but keep going, pretending to the world that you’re ok but finding things difficult or overwhelming inside of yourself. Talking therapy offers a way out of this and my role is to facilitate a safe, supportive and confidential space where you can begin to address problem areas in your life. I work with a wide range of mental health difficulties including depression, anxiety, relationship conflict and difficulties, low self-esteem, stress, burnout and bereavement.

Hi! I’m Amy. I’m a Chartered Clinical Psychologist. I was very lucky to really enjoy going to university to study psychology. I quickly knew it was the area I wanted to work in and so began my journey in training to be one, completing masters and doctorate degrees along the way! I’ve worked with lots of different people, including children and young people, older adults and people with intellectual disabilities, neurodevelopmental and neurological conditions. I have also worked with include both child and adult eating disorders, OCD, psychosis, stroke rehabilitation and people who have offended who are staying in hospital.

You may feel stuck in old patterns, repeating cycles of addiction, people-pleasing, or low self-worth. Perhaps you carry unresolved trauma and long to feel seen, valued, and at peace.

Therapy can help you build awareness, set healthy boundaries, and create stronger relationships with yourself and others. Together, we can work towards moving beyond survival, helping you reconnect with your true self, and live with authenticity, self-compassion, and emotional freedom.

I also accept clients with private health insurance via Aviva, Vitality and BUPA.
I was going to say a few things about me, but that's not why you're here. You're here because you recognise it's time to talk about you. I can help with that. I have worked extensively with clients who experience professional "burn out", relationship issues, bereavement and loss. The list goes on. Having juggled work, family, personal loss, training and much more in recent years, I understand overwhelm. This experience means that I will listen without judgement, empathise and help you find ways to cope, moving on from the unhealthy habits and emotions you're stuck in. We'll work together towards your goals.

I work with individuals and couples who are often managing a great deal on the surface, but internally feel under pressure, stuck, or unsure about what’s next. Many of the people I support are professionals who are used to coping on their own, but find themselves feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or disconnected. Together, we explore what’s happening, helping you make sense of your experiences and move towards greater clarity and a way forward.

Are you in despair or lonely with your own thoughts and feelings. Could you benefit from someone to listen to you and support you without judgement? Are you struggling to cope with life and the overwhelming pressures that it may pose? Perhaps you simply want a better life, better relationships or a better job? Our current worldwide situation is challenging, overwhelming and uncertain and the way in which we respond to these challenges can be difficult and overwhelming. By giving yourself the time and space to share your worries, in a safe and open way, can help you to make the positive changes you want to see in your life.

I have worked as a psychotherapist for over 30 years in the NHS, voluntary sector and privately. I trained as a psychoanalyst having worked in the mental health charity sector initially. I worked for some 25 years running a community-based counselling service in central London. I like to work with a range of people, usually on a once weekly or more frequent basis. I work with people who are seeking to understand themselves better - their relationships with others as well as with themselves. I hope that I can help them make sense of difficulties or challenges in their lives in order to live more fully and creatively.
