Amelia Murdoch

I am a Bishops Stortford based Counsellor working with adults, couples and young adults (16-25). I am an experienced psychodynamically trained BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) accredited counsellor. 

Mental health struggles affect everyday life, impacting our ability to cope. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, anger or feel tearful it is not always easy to understand why you're struggling. Sometimes is more obvious, relationship breakup, bereavement, domestic abuse or trauma, by talking through these experiences it can help you process their impact on you. 

Seeking advice to overcome your feelings is a big step, it can be helpful to have someone beside you on your journey. I provide a safe, compassionate environment to help you navigate lifes' challenges.

Counselling provides an opportunity for you to express your thoughts and feelings,  helping make sense of what you're feeling and understanding why you feel the way you do. Developing an understanding of yourself can bring psychological change and help you find ways to move forwards.

Psychodynamic counselling can help you gain an understanding of deep rooted feelings and struggles. Sometimes we find ourselves repeating patterns of behaviour and not understanding why, exploring them can help make sense of the emotions.

Working together I can help you develop a deeper understanding of your thoughts and feelings, developing greater self awareness.

Couples therapy can be beneficial for couples at any stage of their relationship. Sessions will facilitate discussions to develop greater understanding of each other, communicate more effectively, and develop healthier ways of relating to one another. It can also be helpful for couples considering separation or divorce, providing an opportunity to explore options and make informed decisions about the future of the relationship.

I am an approved provider of Counselling services for private health care companies including BUPA, Aviva, Vitality and Health Assured..
