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.

Although not a firm believer in therapy, I have found Amanda to be very human and honest and understanding without being condescendig. She leaves space to talk but not embarrassingly long silences and I would strongly recommend her.

I have been having regular session with Amanda for almost a tear now. She has helped me so much, I still can't truly comprehend how much I have learned, realised and healed during and thanks to our sessions .
She is very positive and understanding, creates very friendly and safe atmosphere for me to talk about everything. She does remember specific details about my story, even things I have shared long ago, and this helps so much in understanding emotions and habits. I truly recommend her as a therapist as she very human and understanding while being professional and competent and always leave me with the feeling that she is eager to help me.

I was so grateful to find Amanda after a difficult first session with another therapist.
Amanda is very understanding, easy to talk to and has a lot of knowledge about the things I am finding difficult.
