About me and my therapy practice

Hiya I鈥檓 Amy, thanks for having a look at my page. If you鈥檙e here, you might be thinking about talking to someone.

That first step of contacting a counsellor can feel like a big one, it's ok if it feels weird or a bit awkward, I remember being in that position myself. I鈥檝e sat on the other side of the counselling room, so I know what it鈥檚 like to take that first brave step. This is why I aim to offer a warm space where you can talk at your own pace, at first contact and beyond. There's no pressure and no judgment, just a want to understand what's brought you here.

I work in a collaborative, person-centred and psychodynamic way. That means during sessions with me, we will explore your thoughts and feelings together. I'm not here to fix or tell you what to do, but I will support you in tuning into your own answers.

I care deeply about doing this work ethically, and I follow the 鲍鱼视频framework with integrity and heart. Client autonomy is also at the core of how I work, it鈥檚 your space, your pace, but I鈥檓 not just a nodding head. I鈥檒l be fully engaged, offering empathy, insights, and sometimes a nudge when something may benefit from a closer look.

If any of this resonates with you, or you鈥檙e just a bit curious, feel free to get in touch, I鈥檓 happy to chat and see if we might be a good fit.

Practice description

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and hold a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from Gloucestershire College.

Over the years I have spent the majority of my practice at a counselling charity, during my time there, I鈥檝e had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, each seeking counselling for unique and varied reasons. 

In addition to my counselling practice, I am also a Lecturer in Counselling delivering CPCAB counselling courses.

I will always respond to enquiries, if you choose to connect via email and don't hear back from me, have a look in your spam folder - my response might be hiding in there.

My first session

After we first connect, I鈥檒l arrange a call to discuss availability and get a sense of what you鈥檙e hoping to achieve through counselling.

The first session is an opportunity for both of us to assess whether we鈥檙e a good fit. It鈥檚 a chance to see how I work and whether you feel comfortable with me as your counsellor. Whatever you bring to the session is welcome. You may have nerves, questions, or concerns about 鈥渆xplaining everything again鈥 to a stranger. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed about where to begin, or perhaps you're excited about taking this step for yourself. Whatever your experience, we鈥檒l take it one step at a time, at a pace that feels right for you.
