About me

Hello, my name is Amy (she/her). I offer both in-person and online sessions in Bethnal Green. 

I create a space where clients can be fully heard, explore issues whether related to past or present life experiences and deepen their understanding of those experiences. My practice incorporates a consideration of the social and cultural dynamics and narratives we are influenced by to gain further clarity and potential relief.

The aim is that this will facilitate a greater sense of choice and allow you to build better connections in your relationships with others and with yourself.

I work from an integrative approach which means that I draw on a range of therapeutic thinking and models such as Psychodynamic, Relational, Humanistic, Feminist and Body Psychotherapy. This is dependent on your needs and what you bring up in therapy.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have a Level 7 Diploma in Counselling from The Minster Centre, and I'm currently completing an MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling. 

I have experience in working with people who have brought many different things to therapy including: low self-esteem; anxiety; domestic abuse; relational trauma; exploring their sexuality; grief; life changes; trauma. I particularly welcome LGBTQ+ clients. 

It's important to find the right therapist for you, which is why I always encourage clients to explore their options and see who feels like the best fit. 

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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).

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Fees are charged on a sliding scale from £75-£100 and I ask the client to decide what they can pay according to income. So, compared to others in London, if you earn well, please pay at the top, if you earn somewhere in the middle, please pick a place in the scale that feels right. This allows me to create more low-cost slots within my practice.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
