Amy Baglietto (Counsellor, BACP Registered)

Training, qualifications & experience

My training was completed at Roehampton University within the school of Human and Life Sciences and I was awarded a BSc Honours degree in Integrative Counselling. My core training has been in Psychodynamic, Person Centred and Existential Phenomenology. Utilising different modalities allows me to work effectively with clients and their presenting issues. The following is a brief outline so that you can get a sense of how I work.

Psychodynamic Counselling – is not as long term as Psychoanalysis. In a counselling setting, the psychodynamic counsellor places importance on the presenting issues but also places great importance on past experiences. The counsellor aims to assist the client to understand how past experiences may have contributed to present day issues.

Person Centred – Non-directivity is central to the person centred approach. It allows the client to take control and feel empowered in the process of therapy. In order for therapeutic change to take place, the counsellor applies the core conditions of genuineness, empathy and unconditional positive regard to the client.

Existential Phenomenology – Focuses on concerns that are rooted in an individual’s existence. It helps people look at responsibility and freedom of choice in moving forward and changing their way of being.

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) I follow their Guidelines for Good Practice which you can read on their website.

I agree and work on this principle, so I will work to build a trusting relaxed, equal relationship, where your troubles and issues can be solved together, this is very much a togetherness.

I am trained in person centred therapy, psychodynamic therapy and have experience with mindfulness and focus solution work.

Other areas of counselling I deal with

An area I have a lot experience with is working with men and depression.
