Amanda Wyatt Bsc(Hons) MBACP and Certificate in Trauma Counselling

About me

At present working towards "Accreditation."

I offer Counselling to both adults and young people from the age of 16 using a variety of methods and techniques.

I use behavioural therapy and CBT techniques to help address the immediate problems you may be experiencing in order to help get you through the day. I do this by helping you to understand your automatic thoughts which often go on to govern the way that you feel emotionally and physically.

I also use longer term approaches such as Person - Centred, Existential and Humanistic therapies to explore the root of the problem, and to encourage your personal growth.

Life can often throw "curve balls" which can lower confidence and self-esteem which go on to cause relationship issues and anxiety disorders. It is my aim to help you with these and feel like yourself again.

I also have experience in counselling people who have suffered emotional, physical and sexual abuse

The long term effects of this are traumatic feelings such as panic disorders, anxiety and depression to name but a few. I am also comfortable with working with people who are vulnerable and self-harming or having thoughts of suicide and not wanting to be here.

I feel that working with you without judgement to find solutions that suit you as an individual is the best way to help you to move forward with your life.

Every Client I meet has different reasons for coming to counselling and differing ideas of what they want to achieve from it.

I am a great believer in that one size definitely doesn't fit all! This is why I use an Integrative approach, which basically means that I tailor my approach to each individual client.

I am open to discussions to change my approach if you feel that it is not working for you.

If this sounds like what you're looking for please feel free to contact me on 07743 368747 or alwcounselling@talktalk.net to arrange an appointment.

I appreciate that life and it's commitments can get in the way which is why I will always try to work as flexibly as I can to accommodate my client's needs.

I look forward to meeting you.

Amanda
