About me

It takes courage to be reflective about ourselves and consider the things that might be getting in our way. Finding the right therapist can be an overwhelming task. I’m Amy, a humanistic and integrative Psychotherapist. Whatever has brought you here, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, changes to your identity or other stumbling blocks in life; our co-created relationship could be the catalyst for change you’re looking for.

Being an integrative therapist simply means I use a range of theoretical models tailored to your needs. This can aid your understanding of yourself, help you to move towards acceptance and ultimately make new decisions in life. My practice is trauma informed, neurodiverse and LGBTQIA+ affirming, and underpinned by a commitment to meet you where you are in this moment.

Life can be really challenging when we don’t feel like ourselves. Contact me to book in an assessment session, where we can discuss your needs and explore if I’m the right person to effectively support you on your journey.

Wheelchair user access
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.

My therapy room is fully accessible with free parking just outside of the building.
