About me
I AM OFFERING ONLINE AND FACE TO FACE EMDR THERAPY
If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues or any mental health problems I offer a free telephone consultation.
I'm Amanda, I work as an integrative counsellor which means I am trained in many different styles of counselling, so I will adapt my knowledge to what you need.
I have an understanding of how difficult it can be to arrange counselling and the anxiety it can create. However you have made the first step towards feeling better.
I have over 12 years experience working within the NHS service. I focus my knowledge of therapy around your personal issues and problems. I like to think I offer my clients a different counselling experience and work in a directive way, my clients report that its good to have an interactive counsellor, this enables change to take place quicker.
I also specialise in EMDR which is therapy for traumatic incidents. This may include assault, sexual abuse and serious incidents that may result in anxiety or PTSD.
An example of issues I work with can range from general anxiety disorder, depression, relationship issues, bereavements and childhood issues. For an informal chat about what your specific issue is just call or email me.
In addition to the above I also specialise in depression using a 16 session Interpersonal therapy which focuses on one area that may be contributing to your depression.

Member organisations
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.
EMDR UK
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.
