About me
You look like you’re coping, but inside, it’s a very different story.
Maybe your mind never seems to switch off? You're carrying the weight of endless responsibilities, second-guessing yourself, overthinking decisions and trying to keep everything together. You might be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or just not like yourself anymore.
Perhaps you've spent so long looking after everyone else's needs that you've lost touch with your own? You might find it hard to say no, struggle with self-doubt or feel stuck in patterns that leave you feeling drained and disconnected. Deep down, you know something needs to change, but you're not sure where to start.
When you're living like this, it can affect everything—your relationships, your work, your confidence, sleep, and sense of wellbeing. You might feel frustrated that you're struggling despite trying your best to cope, or maybe you're wondering why things seem so easy for others yet difficult for you.
You don’t have to keep managing on your own.
Therapy offers a space where you can put down some of the weight you have been carrying, make sense of what is happening beneath the surface, with someone alongside you who really gets it.
I’m Amanda, an integrative therapist with a warm, down-to-earth approach. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, low self-esteem, ADHD related challenges, relationship difficulties, life transitions and feelings of being stuck or disconnected from who you are.
Together, we’ll make sense of your experiences and explore what's going on for you with curiosity and compassion, helping you understand yourself more deeply, untangle patterns that may be keeping you stuck and developing healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.
For some, this might mean:
- Understanding overthinking and anxiety so it no longer runs the show
- Building confidence and strengthening boundaries
- Processing low mood, stress or burnout, and rediscovering a sense of purpose and direction
- Untangling difficult relationship patterns and finding your voice again
- Letting go of guilt, shame or self-doubt that’s been weighing you down for too long
- Working through difficult experiences and healing wounded parts
Whatever brings you to therapy, my aim is to provide a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood and supported to create meaningful and lasting change.
I know that reaching out can be daunting, so if you've read this far, please feel free to get in touch to see if I'm the right person to support you
I can be contacted on 07903 643649. Where I am unable to take your call, please leave a message letting me know a good time to get back to you. Alternatively, you are welcome to text, whatsapp or email me
Training, qualifications & experience
I have had a keen interest in Psychology and Counselling since I was 13 and first experienced my own therapy, which made me aware of the benefits of just having someone to listen, to actually hear me.
It took me many years to understand I was experiencing anxiety. I had always been called 'shy', 'good', 'quiet' as a child, but internally I was in a constant state of fear and tension. When I learned many years later this was 'anxiety', I finally had the power to understand and work with mine. It's taken on many forms and has impacted many different areas and events in my life. Although I still experience it, it no longer controls my life.
As a result, I feed myself information, research and knowledge on many mental health issues, through courses, a substantial amount of books and peer support and excellent supervision. I'm passionate about understanding and improving mental health, it's not just a job for me, it's a lifestyle.
I work integratively, which means I can draw from a toolbox of theories and approaches that suit and benefit you as an individual.
I have specific interests in bereavement counselling, low self esteem, anxiety, depression and ADHD management.

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.
