About me
Hello, I'm Amy. I am a BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist, dedicated to helping you navigate life's challenges and achieve your personal goals. I provide evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address difficulties including depression, general anxiety, OCD, social anxiety, phobias, health anxiety, PTSD, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.
Having faced and overcome significant personal challenges, I understand firsthand the complexities of emotional pain and the courage it takes to seek help. This perspective enriches my work, allowing me to empathise and connect with you on a deeper level and offer genuine empathy and support.
I have a passion for working with young people and neurodiversity (ASD/ADHD), and have 10 years experience in CAMHS inpatient and community services. Since then I have developed my skills and knowledge working with adults. A large part of my work is with people who have experienced trauma. I understand that trauma can profoundly impact one's life, often resulting in persistent feelings of fear, helplessness, and distress. Using a compassionate and tailored approach, I employ CBT strategies to help you process traumatic experiences, reduce symptoms of PTSD, and regain a sense of control and safety. My goal is to reduce distress and empower you to build a future you believe is worth living.
No matter what you are facing - we will work together on developing practical strategies and skills to foster resilience, improve emotional well-being, and create meaningful change in your life. I'm here to support you on your journey towards a healthier and more fulfilling future.
Reaching out to start therapy can feel daunting. I am passionate about building positive therapeutic relationships, and offer all clients a free 15-minute no obligation telephone consultation. This allows us to think about your goals and if we could work well together.

Further information
In the first instance, I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation to ensure we are the right fit for one another before proceeding. This gives you the opportunity to share some of your difficulties and ask questions about the therapeutic process (or just get to know me more) before going ahead.
All therapy sessions must be paid for upfront to confirm the appointment. There is no obligation to continue with sessions.
If you are unsure whether I can help you, please feel free to contact me with a brief description of your difficulties. I am always open and honest and will direct you to other means of support if I believe they would be more suitable for you.
*If you would like face-to-face sessions, please do contact me and I will try my best to accommodate this however please note there will be an extra cost.
