About me
Helping you to work through trauma and self discovery to ‘An Even Better You’
Do you feel 'stuck'? Are you struggling? Have you experienced trauma or sadness? Are you trying your best to manage difficult situations but feel as though you don't know where to turn? Do you just need someone to talk to who will listen without judgement?

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.

Further information
Private Practice at Amanda Tooms Therapy and Wellbeing.
I have a lovely comfortable therapy room in Gillingham, Kent.
My preference is always to work in person, however I offer both in person and remote online via Google meet, WhatsApp or zoom.
Depending on session availability, I offer late night appointments on a Tuesday and Thursday.
I also offer specialist mentoring for students, employers and employees. Specialist areas include help with studying, leadership and management, work/life balance, preparing for promotion, performance reviews and all areas of managing personal difficulties in education and the performing arts.
