About me
I work in an Integrative, Trauma-Informed and relational way and offer intervention using Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-informed interventions.
I have worked largely with anxiety, depression, abuse, trauma, generational trauma, PTSD, low confidence, low self-esteem, negative critical voice, ADHD, Autism, perfectionism, sadness, loss, anger management, emotional unavailability, burnout, shame, stress and family issues. I have particular experience working with clients who have experienced trauma, domestic abuse and violence, emotional abuse, coercive control, psychological abuse, relationship problems, dysfunctional family relationship issues and generational patterns. I work well with those who haven't had counselling before as well as those who find it hard to open up about their feelings, and those that may have experienced difficulties in therapy before.
I offer a free 20 minute telephone assessment in order for you to decide if you would like to work with me and what therapy goals could be set. Therapy is personal and I want to ensure you are comfortable to work with me so we can be collaborative in the sessions.
I offer face to face in Belper, Derbyshire and offer online/telephone which is available for any location.
What my clients say:
'My experience of the counselling has been so positive. You helped me realise things in my life, that I had unresolved grief over my dad, I was burned out at work etc. and then gave me great support and the tools to deal with them. I am so thankful that I reached out for support in the first place, and you have been a massive part in me feeling like I have turned my mental health around. I feel much more able going forward to deal with whatever life has in store and knowing that counselling has helped me so much in the last year is a huge reason for that.'
'I felt listened to by Amy and I appreciated the sessions and how she made me feel in them. I hadn't had counselling before so it has left me feeling more positive.'
'Amy is a brilliant counsellor and I’ve got a lot out of our sessions. I can tell she really enjoys her role and made me think about things more deeply than I expected.'
'Working with Amy had a huge impact on my life. I found out things about myself, why and who I was as a person. Lots of pieces of jig saws all fell in to place which made so much sense why I had taken the path I had in my life. Throughout my sessions Amy always listened and made me feel at ease. Amy always made sure I was ok at the end of the session. I would highly recommend her, I can’t thank her enough for her support.'

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
