We all go through periods in our life where we feel sad, anxious or overwhelmed by our difficulties and struggle to find a way forward. Perhaps you are going through a life transition, relationship breakdown or feeling stuck and lost as to how to make changes? Often these feelings can be linked to experiences from our childhood. Unlocking this can help make sense of what we are experiencing in the present. I can help you move forward by giving space and support to work through these feelings, make links and look at any challenges you face from a different perspective.

Over the years, I have gathered specialist expertise working within eating disorders and body image related difficulties, women’s health and fertility, loss and bereavement and navigating relationships and interpersonal difficulties.
Starting therapy can sometimes be a daunting experience. Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know each other. You can consider whether I am the right fit for you, and we can explore your goals and motivations for therapy, creating a collaborative plan for potentially working together. With lots of space for any questions you may have! I hold a strong desire to create space for individuals to share their voices, to feel seen and to be heard. Alongside my professional knowledge, I hope to draw from my personal journey to inspire warmth, authenticity, and connection within the therapeutic relationship we build.

Sometimes life becomes overwhelming in ways we never expected. Pain can feel endless, as if it’s never going to ease. When things around us begin to shift, we can find ourselves stuck in a place of hopelessness or helplessness, unsure how to move forward.
In those moments, many of us turn inward with harshness. We tell ourselves we shouldn’t feel this way, our emotions are wrong, inconvenient, or too much. We try to keep going, to please others, to hold everything together, and somewhere along the way we lose sight of ourselves. Feelings of stuckness, emptiness, and meaninglessness can quietly take over.

I offer space for people who wish to explore fundamental issues. Some people are driven to counselling by a current crisis that means they need support. Others have been managing perfectly well but decide that repeating destructive patterns or underlying dissatisfaction now deserve attention. I hold a Diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling from Re-Vision. This is 'counselling with a soulful perspective'. The strongest influence in the training is Jung. In this perspective, times of real difficulty or despair are seen as holding a potential for change and growth. In our work you will be heard and witnessed.

If you're experiencing Bereavement, Menopause, or Empty Nest Syndrome: I'm here for you
It's normal to feel isolated, confused, and even scared. You may feel unsupported, as though there's nothing for you at this critical time. Moving forward can feel impossible.
So, we work together to make sense of a world that's changed. To understand what that could look like, for you. To regain control, ready for your next step.

The main issues I tend to work with are: trauma (childhood/sexual or domestic abuse), relational issues, and loss ( grief, divorce, significant health diagnosis).
Do you need a space that feels safe to talk about things that you have never talked about before? To talk to someone who is there to fully listen to you with no distractions or agenda? Sometimes life can feel in limbo and a change of direction feels hard to navigate, talking things through can help bring about the changes you want to see. Perhaps circumstances feel overwhelming and you need to consider what's going on and where you go next. Or has something from the past never left and needs addressing? Do you feel sad and don't know why? Maybe it feels like you are angry all the time? People bring this and more to therapy with me.

Or you’re pregnant after loss and each milestone brings dread instead of joy.
I use CBT and EMDR to gently work through what happened and what’s keeping you stuck. We’ll calm anxious thoughts, process difficult experiences, and build practical tools you can use when panic or dread hits. Over time, you can move from survival mode to feeling safer in your body and more present in pregnancy and motherhood.

On the surface they see your success, a smiling face, the version of you that you show the world. But they don't see what's underneath. You feel anxious, self-critical or constantly "on" inside. Your perfectionism, high expectations, or past experiences leave you feeling uneasy, exhausted or disconnected from yourself and those around you. You might feel stuck- wanting change, but unsure where to start. Another part of you quietly longing for a space where you can slow down, be real, and be heard without judgement. Whether you have a clear focus or simply sense that something needs to shift, let's explore it together at your pace.

Hi! I’m Amy. I’m a Chartered Clinical Psychologist. I was very lucky to really enjoy going to university to study psychology.

My aim is to create an environment that allows you to share freely. I will explore with you in this session the information that seems most pertinent to the key changes you would hope to make in therapy.
