About me
Therapy offers space to process anxiety and trauma at your own pace, helping you develop insight, safety, and new ways of relating to yourself and others.
A supportive space to process trauma, understand anxiety, and create lasting change.
I am an experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist offering sessions from my therapy room in Bristol (BS16), as well as online via Zoom.
I provide a safe, welcoming and confidential space where you can talk openly, at your own pace. Many people come to therapy feeling unheard, misunderstood, or unsure how to put their feelings into words. My aim is to help you feel genuinely listened to and supported as we explore what is really going on for you.
I work using an integrative approach, drawing on different therapeutic models, relevant research, and over ten years of professional experience. This allows therapy to be shaped around you rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
I have experience supporting people with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, low self-confidence, grief and bereavement, relationship difficulties, conflict, trauma and childhood trauma.
You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. If you feel stuck, lost, or unsure what you need, that is often a meaningful place to begin.
At the heart of my work is compassion, empathy and humanity. We will work collaboratively, combining your courage in reaching out with my belief in your capacity for change.
Therapy with me offers space for exploration, self-awareness and learning new ways of coping, with the aim of supporting both positive change now and lasting benefits for the future.
If you are considering therapy and would like to know more, please feel free to get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you into the therapy room, either face-to-face or online.
Warm wishes,
Amy

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.
