Most people experience emotional distress or feel stuck or unfulfilled at times in life. Whether you are seeking relief from emotional suffering or, have a deep desire for growth within yourself and with others, the counselling relationship can support you. The empathy, honesty and unconditional acceptance of a skilled therapist can provide a sometimes challenging, but always safe and nurturing environment. I have in depth experience with families, neurodivergent individuals, children with behaviour of concern and adolescents who are struggling with the transition towards adulthood. I accept and affirm diversity in all forms.

I believe that healing is always possible. Let's work together to rewrite your story, overcome obstacles, and bring about long-lasting, beneficial change. Take the first step toward positive change and get in touch.

Our lives are like a game of snakes and ladders. We move up and we fall down many times. Life will always have periods where we fall and don't know how to get back up. We experience loss - of loved ones, relationships, work; we have times we feel overwhelmed by anxiety, negative thoughts or stress. These are the times we need support. Wherever you are on your journey I meet you there. Whatever you wish to overcome I will support you safely. Whatever it is you wish to look at, remember you are the expert in your own life, and it is a privilege to walk with you until you feel ready to make your own way.

Hi, I’m Amie, a person-centered psychotherapist who understands firsthand the power of feeling truly heard. Living with misdiagnosed neurodivergence & OCD showed me how overwhelming, isolating, and misunderstood mental health struggles can feel. The relentless overthinking, the self-doubt, trying to hold it all together - it’s a lot to carry alone. Whether it’s the weight of anxiety, a heavy sadness, or a sense that something's not quite right, life can start to shrink around you. Therapy helps create space so you can finally come up for air, feel less alone in the struggle, and start living a life that feels yours again.

It can often be challenging to pinpoint the source of our unhappiness. It might feel as though something has disconnected us from the spontaneous creativity and joy that characterize a fulfilling life. Instead of feeling free and self-determined, we may feel trapped and pressured by societal demands, unsatisfying relationships, or emotions we don’t know how to handle. Regardless of your life stage, we will collaboratively address symptoms of anxiety and depression, enhance interpersonal relationships and attachment, and improve self-esteem. Your healing is personal, your therapy will be too.

Together, we can explore these issues and learn to break free of limiting patterns and beliefs that may be holding you back and take steps to move forward in life with greater ease and peace.

Feeling overwhelmed, stressed or anxious? Sometimes the demands of modern life can make us feel out of control. When we are suffering, we tend to look at all that is wrong in our lives. We can lose confidence and make judgements and assumptions about ourselves or our situations that focus mainly on the negative. The coping strategies we adopted in childhood can become our defensive mechanisms in adulthood and we can often find ourselves repeating old patterns of behaviour that don't work but we don't know how to find a way to break the cycle.

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
