About me
Hi, I’m Amanda. I really admire the courage it takes to reach out for support. Life can feel overwhelming sometimes — whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, loneliness, grief, or feeling low and not quite sure why. I’m here to walk alongside you and offer a safe, welcoming space where you can talk things through without judgment.
I am a Psychotherapist and Counsellor with a focus on the Humanistic and Integrative approach to therapy, and with a passion for helping individuals navigate life's challenges
If you know something isn’t quite right and you’re at the point where you feel ready to talk, feel free to get in touch. I offer private counselling in Nottinghamshire, as well as online sessions via Zoom or WhatsApp.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
