Amanda Brown (MBACP)
About me
I am an integrative therapist based in Kingston Upon Thames, I draw upon a range of different theoretical approaches to meet the individual needs of each client, as I believe each persons experiences are unique to them. I am experienced in helping people through their difficulties offering both short term and long term therapy.
I believe that personal therapy helps people to reflect on how their personal experiences affect them and develop a self awareness, as well as emotional resilience in a safe, empathetic and confidential environment. Allowing the client to feel empowered, whilst being able to communicate openly.
As an integrative therapist I am qualified to work with several different approaches which includes - Psychodynamic (PDT), Humanistic approach - Person Centred therapy (PCT) based on personal growth and self development & Cognitive Behavioural Therapy(CBT) used for specific phobias and anxieties.
At times there may be no words to describe a feeling or experience, I offer a safe place to explore this process with you using writing, colouring, images, pebbles and mindfulness techniques.
