About me

Hello I am Amanda, A BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. I work with a range of issues, whether you are seeking relief from anxiety, looking to overcome depression or striving to enhance your overall wellbeing. Your unique goals are the heart of our work together. 

My passion lies in helping people navigate the complexities of juggling work and life pressures, particularly those struggling under the weight of demanding expectations.

My aim is to empower you with practical tools and strategies to navigate life's challenges and achieve your goals.

I deliver CBT either  face to face in Gosforth or online via a secure video platform dependent on your preference. I also offer a free fifteen minute consultation to answer any queries that you might have or just help you decide if we are a good fit. 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a brief psychotherapy with sessions usually between six and twenty sessions. CBT has a strong evidence base and is recommended by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) for depression and anxiety disorders.

I am a recognised provider with Axa, Aviva, Bupa and Nuffield

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
