About me
Hi, I'm Amy.
Coming to counselling and opening up to a complete stranger about things you may have never discussed before can be hugely daunting! I aim to make the process as easy, comfortable as possible while getting you to where you want to be.
I have been working with people with a range of issues for 20 years including
- anxiety
- depression
- ADHD & Autism
- self-harm
- eating disorders
- early life trauma
- for some a wish to talk about a feeling without necessarily knowing what it is but something simply doesn't quite feel right
My aim is to put the people I work with at ease as quickly as possible while also helping them to untangle and understand why they will be feeling or acting in certain ways. We often behave in ways which we see as not 'rational' or that don't seem to make sense. My job is to help to understand the bit that doesn't seem to make sense.
The core of my training was in the psychodynamic method of counselling which involves looking at how our emotions and ways of viewing ourselves are shaped by experience and relationships throughout our lifetimes. In fact often our ways of coping that we develop from childhood and which are seemingly entrenched no longer work and are in need of looking at from a fresh perspective in order to make a change and get to where we want to be.
Please feel free to contact me by phone or email and we can start from there!

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.
