Amy Henniker-Major

My aim is to welcome you into a warm, non-judgemental, safe space, where together, we can explore any difficulties you may be experiencing. I understand that the idea of therapy can be daunting, especially if it's your first time, however, I sincerely believe that by creating a trusting, therapeutic relationship, you will be successful on your journey of self-discovery.

In today’s world, unfortunately, so many of us are struggling with stress, burnout, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and trauma, that it has become a normal part of our daily lives, however, it doesn’t have to be this way.

Although mental health awareness has come a long way in recent years, there is often still a misconception that an individual must have severe issues to seek counselling. Whilst many people may have deep rooted issues they need to work through, others may simply seek a safe space to ‘check in’ with themselves as a form of self-care, feeling free to explore their feelings with someone who is unbiased and detached from their life. To me, there is no such thing as a problem “Too big” or “Too small”.

My Approach

I truly believe that you are an expert on yourself, which is why I predominantly work using an Integrative Person-Centred approach, as it is a non-directive, client-led model. By working in this way, I can help you to explore your emotions, behaviours, and beliefs so you can gain clarity on any issues you may be experiencing, as well as gaining a greater sense of self-awareness. However, I understand that everyone is unique, therefore I will draw upon various models and techniques to tailor sessions to best meet the needs of the individual.

I also have a keen interest in exploring the mind-body connection, due to the ever-increasing evidence that our mental health can impact our physical health, and vice versa. It is for this reason that I am furthering my training in holistic therapies, such as mindfulness, meditation, and movement, to broaden my knowledge and offer a variety of techniques to clients to aid their overall health.

I appreciate that embarking on a counselling journey can feel incredibly daunting, and I believe that in order to gain the most benefit from the experience, it is essential that you ‘click’ with your counsellor. It is for this reason that I offer a discounted rate of £25 for our first session, so we can discuss how we can work together and if we will be a good fit.

I offer the first session at a discounted rate of £25, all subsequent sessions are £45.

A session lasts for 50 minutes.
