I am licensed in the UK with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & coping with grief and loss. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
We all have times in our lives when we feel unable to cope and day to day life is just too much. Sometimes we know exactly why we feel like this and want some support while we work through it, but other times we may need extra help to work out what's going on for us.
I offer a safe, warm and accepting space where we can explore these issues at a pace that suits you. We will work together to help you gain perspective, understanding and work towards any goals, until you feel equipped and able to move forward on your own.
Whatever situation you find yourself in, I will be here to work with you confidentially and respectfully.

Amanda out me at ease. I find it easy to open up to her. She doesn't just listen but asks the right questions. Also guiding me through weekly situations and scenarios.

Amanda has been a very compassionate and supportive therapist. Most importantly, she can offer simple, useful and actionable advice. I left my first session with her already feeling lighter, and that certain issues were manageable without needing to fall apart first. She is a very personable therapist, speaks in everyday language but can pull on all the useful theories and techniques when required. Highly recommend

I’ve only had a few sessions with Amanda so far and I would definitely recommend her! Amanda is really flexible and adaptable to the direction in which the sessions go. I really appreciate Amanda’s input and her ability to ask questions that challenge my thoughts and feelings in an appropriate way.

Amanda has been - and continues to be - a tremendous support as I deal with relationship trauma. Her calmness, warmth, frankness and skill in guiding me to better understand my insecurity and vulnerability, and provide a platform for my unburdening has been absolutely invaluable. Thank you.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the support and care I’ve received from Amanda while I grieve the loss of my sister as well as a breakup in the same time frame. When I first started therapy, I was in a very dark place, feeling lost and overwhelmed. From our very first session, Amanda made me feel truly heard and understood. She always listened without judgment, creating a space where I felt emotionally safe to open up and explore my thoughts and feelings.
Over time, Amanda has become more than just a therapist; she feels like a friend and a true cheerleader in my journey. Her encouragement and unwavering belief in me have given me a renewed sense of hope and a new lease on life. I can confidently say that I wouldn't be where I am today without her guidance and support.
If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and is dedicated to helping you find your way, I wholeheartedly recommend Amanda. She’s made an incredible difference in my life, and I’m forever thankful for her.
