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

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.

In my psychosexual and relationship work, I use an integrative therapy approach, drawing from multiple evidence-based methods (CBT, psychodynamic, mindfulness, EFT, Gottman, psychoeducation...).
I’m a psychosexual therapist specializing in relationships and sexual wellbeing. I meet people who feel stuck—wanting to understand themselves better, shift unhelpful patterns, and find direction in their sex lives or relationships. Together, we create a space for curiosity and honesty, where even difficult conversations can feel natural and open. This is a place to make sense of what’s going on and begin to create change.

Trauma-focused therapy helps to address the underlying traumatic memories and triggers that contribute to anxiety. CBT, on the other hand, equips individuals with practical techniques to identify and challenge negative thought patterns. However, a combination of trauma-focused therapy and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) can offer effective strategies for managing anxiety and reclaiming a sense of calm. I provide a safe and supportive environment for processing and healing trauma, and all anxiety-based issues. I offer therapy sessions over the phone and video link. I also offer MH assessments and report writing services.

I work with people who are trying to making sense of their place in the world, trying to answer questions of meaning, purpose and identity. If you're considering therapy, you may know what you want to work on, but feel stuck, frustrated, or in need of some support. You may know that something's not right but not know where to start. This may coincide with feelings of anxiety, depression, stress, or burn out. Psychotherapy is a space for you to discuss what's on your mind in a non-judgemental collaborative setting. This is a chance for you to tell your story, and make sense of what it means.
