About me
Hi, I’m Amy, an integrative therapist working both online and in person in the Reading and Wokingham area. I work with a range of issues including trauma, stress and anxiety, depression, low self esteem, childhood trauma, self defeating behaviours, relationship issues. (I do not work with couples). I am open to working with whatever brings you to therapy. I qualified with a Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and am a registered member MBACP with the BACP. I offer long and short term therapy.
I believe that every human is beautifully unique and deserves to experience therapy that is as individual as they are. I would be delighted to walk alongside you in your journey of self discovery and healing. I provide a safe, empathic and non judgemental space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, feelings and behaviours.
As an integrative therapist, I am able to draw on different techniques and principles from various therapeutic approaches. This approach recognises that individuals are unique and may respond best to a tailored blend of different therapeutic methods. I can work using a person-centred approach - working in the moment, psychodynamic approach - looking at and exploring your childhood, and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) - which focuses on behaviour change utilising practical tools.
I welcome any individual, no matter your race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class or disability.
Please feel free to reach out to arrange a free telephone call where I can answer any questions you may have and you can decide whether I might be the right therapist for you.

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