Amie Baxter

Hello, my name is Amie, I am a qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, my aim will always be to offer you a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can explore what may be happening in your life.

I understand that reaching out for counselling can feel daunting, particularly when you are unsure where to begin or how to put your experiences into words. But I promise taking a look on here is the biggest step, you do not need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. Sometimes, we can know exactly what is troubling us, at other times, we may simply have a sense that something does not feel quite right. Both are valid places to start. 

My approach is grounded in the belief that the therapeutic relationship is central to the counselling process. I aim to offer a space where you feel heard, understood and able to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace, without fear of judgement or pressure to be a certain way. 

As an integrative practitioner, I may draw on different therapeutic perspectives to understand you as an individual, recognising that everyone's experiences, relationships and circumstances are unique. Together, we can explore patterns, make sense of past and present experiences, and develop a greater understanding of yourself and what matters to you.

I recognise that different life experiences can shape how we see ourselves, how we relate to others and how we navigate the world. Therapy can offer an opportunity to explore these experiences, reflect on what you may need, and consider what change might look like for you.

Through developing THREAD Psychotherapy, I understand that our lives are made up of many threads that make up who we are, in recognition of this I wanted to offer a space for thoughts, healing, reflection, exploration, acceptance and discovery. You do not need to have all the answers, My aim is to work alongside you, building a therapeutic relationship in which you can feel supported as you explore whatever feels important to you. 

Whether you are experiencing a particular difficulty or simply want to understand yourself more deeply, you are welcome to get in touch.

My fee is £60 per 50-minute counselling session. Sessions are held online via Google Meet. Payment is to be made via bank transfer prior to a session taking place. 

I understand that choosing to begin counselling is a personal decision. I do offer a free 15-minute introductory video call where we can briefly discuss what you're looking for, answer any initial questions and explore whether working together feels right for you. There's no pressure or obligation. 

I aim to be transparent about fees and arrangements from the outset, allowing you to make an informed decision about whether counselling with me is right for you.

I created THREAD Psychotherapy in recognition of the strands in our lives that shape who we are, and how sometimes these threads can become tangled. I wanted THREAD to be a space where there is room to explore these threads through thoughts, healing, reflection, exploration and discovery.

If you are looking for a therapist who is authentic, warm and known to drop the occasional swear word, whether you are navigating a particular difficulty, processing past experiences or seeking a greater understanding of yourself, you are welcome to get in touch.

You do not need to have everything figured out before beginning counselling. We can start wherever you are.

Take care of yourself in the meantime.

Amie
