Female Counselling in B2

I'm Sam (or Samantha, I don't mind either), I've gained experience working in the third sector supporting survivors of sexual abuse and sexual violence in multiple roles such as a counsellor, group facilitator, and assessing client needs. I've also gained experience working in a sexual health clinic that support the LGBTQ+ community - working with a variety of issues and presentations such as  GSRD, Disabilities, Neurodiversity, ADHD, Sexual health, Sexual problems, and Gender dysphoria, compulsive sexual behaviour (sex addiction). I have an interest in dissociative disorders and working with 'parts' of people to create synthesis.

We all find ourselves feeling stuck in thinking and behaviour patterns that we wish were different at times. Talking to friends and family isn't always useful, or an option. That's where therapy may be more effective. I am a BACP registered psychological therapist with over a decade of experience of working multi-culturally using CBT, CPT, IFS and solution-focused approaches. I provide a warm, confidential, non-judgmental space to support you to work through life's issues.

I offer therapy to adults and young people who are struggling with psychological distress and/or mental health issues. I work with individuals who wish to increase their understanding and awareness of themselves in order to progress in any aspect of their lives. I have the clinical expertise to work with a variety of difficulties and I use a variety of therapeutic models and approaches to facilitate this. I currently work as a Principal Psychologist for the NHS.

Everyone needs a bit of help sometimes. Life can get overwhelming and it can be hard to see a clear way through. I work with you in a secure and confidential environment to work through issues that are holding you back. It may be depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief or general feeling of a lack of fulfilment in your life. Talking to a professional can help you to untangle your thoughts and feelings and navigate a path towards better peace of mind.

Are you struggling to communicate with your partner, manage arguments, get over a break up or recently discovered an affair? I am experienced in working with couples or individual to help overcome these issues. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, work related stress, bereavement, or lack of self esteem. I work integratively, which means I use different theoretical models to support my clients.

Work face to face, zoom, with Alexandra (Alex) as you walk the unfamiliar steps of your journey to build confidence, self esteem to enable you to be empowered. I will aim to provide you the tools to build a positive resourceful life.

Welcome, my name is Amanda and I am a fully qualified integrative psychotherapist/counsellor. I work with individual adults offering an empathetic space for you to explore and make sense of your challenges, supporting you in feeling understood without judgements or expectations. As an integrative therapist I use a range of therapies such as person-centered, CBT, and psychodynamic. I will work together with you to tailor our approach to therapy that sees you for the unique individual that you are, helping you to create meaningful and lasting change.

We can all find life overwhelming at times - whether we're struggling with life circumstances or events, experiencing relationship problems, emotional difficulties or just feeling stuck. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable to share and explore any difficulties you may be experiencing. The therapy I offer is tailored to the specific areas you are seeking support with and I focus on developing our therapeutic relationship to support you to gain the most from therapy.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I am a Clinical Psychologist who draws on many modalities within my therapeutic work including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systemic Therapy and Compassion Focussed therapy. Although the therapeutic approach is important, I passionately believe that the key to therapy success is building a strong and trusting relationship between the therapist and client. My aim is to provide you with a friendly, compassionate and judgement free space, where you can feel safe to explore any challenges you are facing.

I can offer a warm, empathetic and compassionate environment for us to explore your troubles, and what might be underlying these. I am passionate about mental health and seeing the whole person, as well as the importance of hope, empowerment and finding your own sense of identity and/or meaning in recovery. As an Integrative Counsellor, I draw on a range of theories to work in a way that best suits your individual needs. I can work with a range of presenting issues such as anxiety, depression, body image and bereavement, with the aim of helping you make sense of your experiences and cope with the often difficult world we live in.

Do you find yourself getting easily overwhelmed? Perhaps you are tired of having a busy brain that overthinks, overanalyses, and critiques everything you do. Possibly you’ve been told you’re too sensitive, over-emotional or too caring. Unforeseen change and uncertainty may make you anxious and after periods of socialising, you need alone time to recharge. This might mean you feel different, or boring, leading you to think negatively about yourself. Perhaps you outwardly appear very “together” or successful but hide-away the fact that life seems harder for you than it does for others, leaving you feeling like an imposter.
