Written on Feb 03, 2026 after therapy with Amanda for 7 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, self esteem, and anger management

I have been talking with Amanda for over six months after a sudden and traumatic relationship break up. It has been extremely helpful and gave me strategies and ways to deal with the loss both practically and emotionally. I have recently had a two month break and am looking forward to coming back to meet with Amanda and continue our work.

Amanda is very understanding and tries to see challenges from different angles and remembers well themes from my past to combine it into current suggestions. Our weekly sessions in combination with the journal entries I am sharing with her between sessions are a great way to figure my journey out, and gives Amanda the best possibility to combine multiple events throughout the week to a very constructive therapy session.

Written on Sep 01, 2025 after therapy with Amanda for 4 months on issues concerning depression, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, self esteem, coaching, and compassion fatigue

Amanda is absolutely excellent. She worked with me on some specific issues and understood straight away what the problems were and what I needed from her in terms of addressing them. She was caring and supportive whilst also gently challenging me in a supportive way to work on and develop in the way I needed. Amanda worked in the way I wanted and that was best for me which was to have goals and small amounts of work to do each week. She also gave me space to sometimes just off load and examine that if that’s what I needed in that session. Amanda is clearly very experienced, knowledgeable and compassionate and would use the right approach for the individual client.
I feel completely different in a really positive way since starting therapy with Amanda and would definitely come back to her if I needed to. Thank you Amanda!

Amanda is a really gifted therapist. She is funny, down to earth, respectful and empathic. I felt like I unlocked a lot of deep, profound aspects of my challenges within the first 20mins of our session which I really didn’t expect, and she continued to hold space for me to express myself and feel safe and comfortable in the next sessions as well. I definitely recommend Amanda in a heartbeat!
