About me

Hi, I’m Amy, a fully qualified integrative counsellor, with a passion for helping people with their mental health. I offer in person sessions in the Solihull area and online sessions throughout the West Midlands.

As an integrative counsellor, I don't believe one size fits all. In sessions I use methods from different counselling approaches to suit you as an individual. Offering a safe, friendly, non-judgemental space throughout, where you can talk openly about your thoughts and feelings.

Maybe you're feeling stuck, depressed, anxious or even like you’ve somehow lost yourself - my goal is to help you find your way and make changes that last.

We can work together, and through counselling you will have the opportunity to explore, process and navigate through life’s challenges. I will listen empathically and help you identify barriers and solutions.

Having worked in local charities and in my current role, I have experience working with many different issues that can affect mental health. A significant amount of my work has been around supporting people with:

Depression, anxiety, stress/overwhelm, low self-esteem, loss of self, relationship issues and people pleasing. 

Other areas of interest include, neurodivergence, trauma and anger management.

What is it you are struggling with today?

Get in touch...

To see if I am the right counsellor for you, I offer a free initial 20-minute phone call to see if we can work together and answer any questions you might have. 

For more information about the way I work and what to expect from counselling, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
