Psychotherapist. Hertfordshire & Online. Trauma Informed

About me

Welcome — I'm Amy, a Trauma-Informed Psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience helping adults move through trauma, anxiety, and life transitions.

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns that no longer serve you, therapy can offer a space to make sense of what’s happening and move forward with greater clarity and strength. I help clients understand their inner world, reduce emotional distress, and create meaningful change — with a style that is warm, collaborative, and gently direct.

Specialist support for the lasting effects of trauma

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling emotionally shut down, overly reactive, anxious, or exhausted from managing complex relationships. These can be signs of unresolved trauma or long-term stress. I offer a space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and physical responses, helping you understand what’s underneath the surface and find ways to feel more grounded and in control.

Direct, compassionate, whole-person therapy

My approach is trauma-informed, down-to-earth, and real. I bring empathy and presence, but I won’t just sit back and nod. I offer honest reflections, useful insight, and practical strategies to support your process — always at a pace that respects where you are. We’ll work with your whole self, not just the symptoms, to help you build lasting resilience and emotional freedom.

Supporting high-performing individuals through life transitions

I also work with successful men and women navigating significant life or career changes — selling or floating a business, scaling back, early retirement, or adjusting to an empty home as children grow up and move on. These shifts often bring unexpected grief, identity questions, or a sense of lost direction. Our work together creates space to reflect, recalibrate, and reconnect with what matters.

Common reasons people come to see me:

  • Childhood trauma, neglect, or emotional abuse
  • Anxiety, panic, or chronic emotional overwhelm
  • Relationship issues (romantic, family, or work-based)
  • Low self-worth, inner criticism, or shame
  • Burnout, pressure, or identity loss in high-achieving roles
  • Suicidal thoughts, self-harm, or complex trauma
  • Sexual trauma, domestic violence, or boundary violations

I work with adults (18+) and offer therapy both online and from a calm, private office in Hertfordshire. Whether you're returning to therapy or exploring it for the first time, you're welcome to reach out.

Further information

Trauma-Informed Psychotherapy Backed by Over 10 Years of Experience

In addition to my private practice, I work with a local charity supporting survivors of rape, domestic violence, and abuse — a role that continues to deepen and inform my therapeutic approach.

I also work extensively with professional men navigating work/life imbalance, the impact of past trauma, relationship breakdowns, and the emotional toll of high-pressure careers. These clients often seek a grounded, confidential space to recalibrate and reconnect with themselves.

What clients say about working with me:

"Amy has a tremendous ability to be with people in their pain and struggle."

"Amy’s knowledge, experience, and approach helped me work through issues I couldn’t have resolved alone. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking therapy."

My trauma-informed, integrative style means I tailor each session to your unique needs — blending insight, practical tools, and direct, compassionate support to help you move forward with confidence.
