About me

Hi! I'm Amy. I'm a CBT therapist with a passion for helping people improve their mental health and work towards living a meaningful life. Often when we feel low and anxious, or go through difficult things in our lives, we lose sight of who we are, what's important to us, and it is sometimes hard to know how to break the cycle of how we feel. If this sounds familiar then I may be able to help. 

Qualifying 9 years ago, I have experience in working both with adults and young people drawing on a range of evidence-based interventions to meet your specific goals and needs. My expertise include PTSD, OCD, anxiety and depression. 

Therapy with me will offer you a safe space where we can think together about what is happening for you at the moment, and hopefully together with a combined effort, things can shift and change for you for the better. My clients say I am easy to talk to and I help them feel understood. Therapy sessions can include laughter as well as tears. 

If you would like to arrange a free telephone call to see how I may be able to help you, please contact me on the email address or telephone number above. Thank you for your interest and I look forward to speaking with you. 

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a qualified, and BABCP accredited, CBT therapist with 9 years of experience. I predominately work in the NHS with children and young people experiencing complex mental health challenges. Prior to working with children, I worked extensively with adults both in IAPT, breast cancer recovery and post-natal teams. 

I have also completed accredited EMDR UK training.
