About me

I may have the tools & techniques, but you are the expert in you. Everyone’s therapy journey is individual and should be treated as such.

My name is Amanda Hudson and I am a qualified Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapist (REBT) and Hypnotherapist, specialising in trauma and PTSD. I have a room in Swanbourne, where I offer integrative therapy, that is individually tailored to your needs.

REBT is a solution focused type of counselling, which takes into account you as a whole person (past and present) along with all of the symptoms you are experiencing. Hypnotherapy is a natural state of relaxation, which allows the subconscious to come to the front of the mind in order to create change for the better.

It is always my aim to empower clients to take charge of their counselling journey, by working in collaboration with you on the direction of the therapy and by teaching you how your mind works, along with how you got to the point that lead you into my therapy room.

I work in a creative, relaxed style where creating a warm, friendly and judgement free space is always priority. Alongside REBT and Hypnotherapy, I often integrate some of the following therapy techniques into sessions (among others):

  • Mindfulness
  • Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
  • Compassion Focused Therapy
  • Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
  • EMDR
  • Creative Therapy
  • Solution Focused Therapy

Training, qualifications & experience

  • Advanced Integrative Diploma in REBT/CBT & Hypnosis
  • Level 3 Certificate in Hypnotherapy & Counselling
  • Certificate in Compassion Focused Therapy: Advanced Clinical Skills
  • Certificate in Polyvagal theory
  • Certificate in Relational Neuroscience: Interpersonal Neurobiology of trauma
  • Certificate in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
  • Level 1 Makaton Training

I previously managed a team of thirty counsellors during the pandemic for the Hummingbird Centre; a wonderful drop-in centre and charity for those affected by cancer.
I am a qualified HOPE course facilitator and assessor, a Macmillan run course for those moving forward after cancer. I have also previously run mindfulness groups at Aylesbury youth offenders prison.

I am a Professional Member of both The National Hypnotherapy Society and The National Counselling Society along with being fully insured.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.
