About me

Hi, I’m Amy - and I’m here to support you in reconnecting with yourself.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, low mood, relationship struggles, or simply feeling disconnected from who you are, I offer a calm, compassionate space for you to slow down, reflect, and prioritise yourself.

I’m a qualified counsellor (NCPS registered) and founder of Amy’s Safe Space, offering online counselling for clients aged 15 and above. I work with individuals who are seeking clarity, self-awareness and a deeper connection to themselves; working through their emotions, thought patterns, relationships, and deeper needs. Together, we explore your inner world with curiosity, not judgment.

Some clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, lost, or stuck in a cycle of self-doubt or emotional intensity. Others seek to process past experiences, identify their attachment style or work through relationship issues. Some of the beliefs we hold are not our truths, but patterns we’ve absorbed from others. Therapy can help you gently challenge those beliefs and replace them with self-compassion and emotional clarity. 

I also have experience working with neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD and autism. I aim to create a supportive and flexible space where your way of thinking, processing, and communicating is respected and understood. Whether you are navigating identity, emotional regulation, or feeling misunderstood by others, this is a space where you don’t have to mask or shrink parts of who you are.

My approach is:

  • Gentle and relational
  • Rooted in empathy, active listening, and respect
  • Informed by humanistic, solution-focused, and somatic techniques
  • Always tailored to meet your pace, your needs, and your goals

Together, we might explore:

  • Depression, low mood, or emotional numbness
  • Your attachment style and how it affects relationships
  • Limiting beliefs and how to shift your inner dialogue
  • Navigating ADHD or autism in a neurotypical world
  • Nervous system regulation and tools for grounding
  • Acceptance of who you are while taking steps toward who you want to be

If you're curious about starting therapy with me, I offer a free 15-minute call to check in and see if we're a good match.

Further information

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and explore what has brought you to therapy at this time. Your expectations of the therapeutic process will also be discussed. After this, we can decide if we are a good fit. Finding the right counsellor can be an overwhelming process, so I hope to make this as easy as possible for you. 

I offer both short-term and long-term therapy. The number of sessions is up to you. We can also assess this as time goes on.
