I offer the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT - tapping) which is like acupuncture but without the needles. You tap on specific parts of your body. It is an evidenced based treatment which means it has a robust body of research demonstrating its effectiveness. It helps a large variety of difficulties.

We accumulate ways of being in the world that supported us in the past but, perhaps, don’t serve us now. This may be held in our bodies, thoughts, emotions, and the way that we relate to ourself and others. Therapy is a process of exploring this together with a balance of safety and challenge. I have experienced personally and with others how this can facilitate deepening self awareness, processing old wounds, and living more authentically. I am warm and openminded, and I am committed to being honest because I believe that it is paramount to enabling trust to develop. I meet you as my genuine self, rather than in ‘role’.

I work with people from all walks and with many issues but all feel a need to change something in their lives. I can create a safe space to explore and understand the problems you bring, both individually or together with partners. I have helped many clients deal with the issues arising from depression, self doubt, anxiety and trauma, or changing notions of self worth, especially in the face of work stress.

I understand that it can be hard to reach out for therapy, especially when you may be finding life tough at the moment. Or perhaps you are in a better place and have decided that you want to explore aspects of your life. Either way, please do contact me to discuss your needs. In therapy sessions I would work with you to process your past so that you can see how it impacts the present. For many there is the need to grieve for what has been lost, whilst giving the opportunity to identify and embrace your true inner self. You would strengthen ‘Adult’ you, freeing yourself to embrace life.

TLDR - I mostly work with people dealing with anxiety, depression, and/or OCD stuff/intrusive thoughts, to better understand what's happening and find ways to improve things. I continue to learn to better support the people I work with, particularly around gender, sexuality and relationship diversity, and neurodiversity.

You are considering counselling because you want some change in your life or because you are having difficulty coping with something at the moment. My role is to support you with whatever is bothering you at present and to enable you to see things clearly. I offer an objectivity you may not be able to get from a friend or family member.

Waitlist for new clients
Hello, I'm Amy. I recognise that life can sometimes be complex, confusing, and difficult. Our anxieties and worries can feel overwhelming, and have a real impact on our day to day experience, our relationships with others, and the way we see ourselves. I'm here to listen to you, warmly and without judgement, and to help you to develop an understanding of you are. Together we can explore ways in which we can make changes in order to relieve discomfort, make sense of how your history may have impacted you, and free you of any processes that don't serve you well. We will work on putting yourself at the centre of your narrative.

I like working with individuals and couples – on issues and worries ranging from anxiety, stress, and depression to all types of trauma. Of particular interest is working with people experiencing existential angst or simply feeling "stuck" in one way or another. I like to help people to get "un-stuck" and to take steps towards living their lives in more fulfilling ways, and having healthier, more rewarding relationships.

I often tell my clients (and remind myself!) that uncertainty, loss, and worry - are all parts of being human. Yet, sometimes, it all may become overwhelming. What used to help, no longer does, and we end up feeling stuck in a pattern. We might struggle in relationships, at work, and more. Therapy can help you make sense of it all, to find clarity. As your therapist, I will support you to carefully and safely unpack any difficulties you might be facing. We will work together to understand all those parts of you, that make you who you are. We will do so with curiosity, honesty, and a sense of humour (where appropriate, of course).
