About me
When it comes to conflict or emotions, it isn’t always easy to talk about the issues which are troubling us, especially if they are deep-rooted or longstanding. But often there is a realisation that we need some extra help and support.
I'm passionate about helping people to resolve the challenges that they may be dealing with or issues which are troubling them. Everyone is unique and I approach each situation with sensitive pacing. I respond compassionately and pay attention to the ways in which different life experiences shape us all.
We will work together to talk through the underlying causes of emotions, feelings or pain you may be experiencing in daily life, bringing you a greater sense of wellbeing and overall happiness.
I work both nationally and internationally via FaceTime or Skype as well as in person when conditions allow, and sometimes a blend of the two.

- Diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy (DipHip) - Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

A Testimonial
Work as a therapist is many things. I feel privileged to listen to peoples stories and help them; it is also sometimes a demanding and very rewarding job. I wanted to share with you a moving and recent testimonial that a client who has finished working with me sent:-
"It was reassuring to know there was someone out there in times of despair. Amanda was a turning point in my life, just when I needed it. Her attention, care and support helped me turn a corner I would not have found without her intervention. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Amanda's services to anyone, she understood and dealt with the ultimate emotional situation I went through which makes me believe there is no one she would not be able to help".
