About me
About Me
Hello, my name is Amy. With over 10 years of experience in the mental health sector and 2 years of counselling practice, I am dedicated to supporting individuals in navigating life’s challenges. My approach is grounded in the person-centred approach, while integrating evidence-based techniques from other counselling methods. This allows me to tailor each session to meet the unique needs of every individual, ensuring that we focus on your goals and challenges at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Counselling Space
I provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. During our sessions, you can expect a supportive and confidential environment where we can build a collaborative relationship. My aim is to meet you where you are, build a trusting relationship, and support you in achieving your personal goals and make meaningful changes in your life.
Delivery
I offer counselling sessions online, in-person at a community centre, and through walk-and-talk therapy to ensure accessibility and variety. I am flexible with scheduling, and my availability changes weekly.
I appreciate that seeking support can be daunting and I am happy to answer any questions you may have.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health care industry and have been practising as a counsellor for 2 years. I started my counselling journey with Level 2 studies and now hold a First-Class BA (Hons) degree in Counselling. While my foundation is rooted in the person-centred approach, I have expanded my knowledge through additional qualifications in other therapeutic approaches, allowing me to work as an integrative counsellor.
I am committed to continually developing my knowledge through ongoing training, ensuring I provide a diverse and high standard of counselling. As a registered member of the BACP, I am dedicated to adhering to their ethical framework to safeguard the well-being of my clients.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
