About me

Hello and thank you for looking at my profile. I understand how hard it can be to chose the right counsellor. I offer my clients an understanding person-centred approach that is non-judgmental and honest/friendly. The focus of my counselling is decided by the client, who can discuss what might help. I encourage the client to lead the session as I believe that it is the client’s journey since they are experts about their own lives. This allows me to be in the client’s world, supporting them emotionally along their journey to recovery.

I facilitate the process by supporting the client to look at their life journey and help them clarify what they think and how they feel it. My results have shown this process is effective for a wide range of problems and issues. I talk about things they wish in a context that is supportive and facilitative.

Most clients come to me with some form of a loss. This could be in the form of low mood, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, transitions in life, addictions, sexuality and anger issues among others.

I am open minded, approachable, friendly, understanding, and a caring person. I myself have experience some of life’s traumas. I know what it is like to want to talk to someone about how you really feel inside but you don’t because you don’t want people to gossip or be upset for you. Everyone needs a release their emotions at some point in their life and I a safe non-judgmental environment for you to do that.

Amanda is the first therapist that actually gets me. I feel 100% safe to share my most chaotic and deepest thoughts with her. I always leave our sessions feeling empowered and strong. Even tho sometimes it feels like it’s impossible to get up on my feet. She makes my life so much easier by giving me great advice and tasks to work on. On top she always replies to messages quick. She helped me through one of the hardest times and was there for me. It’s obvious that she cares deeply about her patients and wants to do everything in her power to help. Thank you Amanda ❤️

Amanda, gives great in sight and listens to what ever concerns you may have with no judgement and with a very wise head.

I've been in therapy many times and I've had many different therapists, but Amanda is the first one that makes me feel heard. I don't feel like I'm just another piggy bank to her or another checklist, she genuinely listens and seems to care as well. I've made more progress in a few months with Amanda than with other therapists for years. I strongly recommend her and I'm grateful we got matched.
