About me

www.amandalisawatson.com

I believe the relational dynamic between client and therapist is important in the therapeutic work.  I am an integrative psychosexual and relationship psychotherapist and counsellor working with individuals/couples/partnerships using a range of approaches to suit the specific needs and preferences of the client.

I advocate a safe, warm, confidential and non-judgemental space for clients to allow people to be authentic and express their thoughts and feelings freely and without reservation. I like to provide both support and challenge to allow exploration of issues and problems, whether they be past and/or present. I aim to steer clients in establishing fortitude in the face of adversity in order to lead the best life possible.

I have worked with a range of individuals and couples/partnerships from a variety of nationalities, cultures, sexual orientations, ages and backgrounds for both psychosexual and relationship therapy/counselling and general psychotherapy/counselling presentations.

Alongside being a Psychotherapist and Counsellor, I have had 25 years experience in working as a Teacher and Manager in schools and as an Educational Consultant in a Local Authority.

Types of Therapy offered: Psychodynamic, Attachment Theory, Transactional Analysis, Gestault, Existential, CBT and Transpersonal.

I work with a range of issues to include, but not limited to: erectile difficulties, rapid ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, vaginismus, dyspareunia (painful sex), orgasmic difficulties, low/high sexual desire and arousal, relationship issues, intimacy and attachment issues, sexual abuse and sexual assault/rape, infidelity, betrayal and affairs,kink/BDSM/fetishes/fantasies, sex work, porn addiction and sex addiction.

I work with Individuals and Couples/Partnerships of any gender and sexual orientation.
