Holly
I found Amanda to be excellent. Up to the point where we began our session, I’d felt that therapy was not effective for me, but Amanda is very focussed and kind in helping you tackle specific goals within your treatment and I also found her to be very insightful and able to spot and help me work through things that I had not previously noticed. Amanda is so supportive that it makes you feel like you are a team tackling these things together and I left sessions feeling lighter then I had in years! Would highly recommend, especially for performers as Amanda has great insight and knowledge into the specifics of the industry effect. More...

Amanda has been so helpful to me through a difficult and stressful period, giving me the tools I need to manage my anxiety and depression independently. She is kind and patient, but also held me to account when needed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. More...

I saw Amanda for a year and would 100% recommend her. She was always professional, reliable and friendly. I felt comfortable with her at once and was impressed with her knowledge and application of different psychological approaches. She helped me work through persistent anxiety problems and periods of low mood. Since my sessions with Amanda, I feel much better equipped to manage these myself. More...

Lorraine Smith
As someone with a lifelong terror of the dentist (I literally cried with terror just talking to Amanda about it at first) after a combination of hypnotherapy and counselling, I have not only been able to attend two check ups but have had a filling too. Amanda was not only extremely professional, but empathetic and understanding. I would highly recommend Amanda to help if you suffer from a similar fear! More...

Amanda makes me feel extremely comfortable, I have had both hypnotherapy and counselling and I felt very safe during my sessions with her. Highly recommend.

What do you love most about your job?
Supporting clients to overcome challenges that they are struggling with.
What inspired you to start your own business?
So that I’m able to put my clients first without compromise. Working in my own private practice offers me and my clients flexibility.
Why should our clients choose you?
I know firsthand what it’s like to be a client. I have been in therapy myself and worked through trauma and pain. My therapeutic journey not only healed me, but it inspired me to train as a therapist so that I could help others in the same way that I was.
Before qualifying as a counsellor I worked in a variety of areas including senior leadership and management, education, dance and the performing arts. This rich career backdrop enables me to draw on a diversity of experiences that allows me to better understand some of the struggles my clients experience.
I am a trauma informed therapist, LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent affirming.
