Sarah CHAPMAN
Relationship and Marriage Counselling
Amanda was lovely, understood what was needed and the way she works is beneficial. Just the other person involved wasn't willing to show himself as willing

Laura mccormack
Therapist
Working with mandy has been so great, she has helped me understand so much and is teaching me how to better listen and understand my children's emotions as well as my own, her calming techniques have been very useful for myself as I lead a very stressful life with alot of challenges.
Her teaching of active listening has changed my mind set on how to better communicate with everyone in my life especially my children.
Mandy is very calming and understanding.
I would highly recommend mandy for anyone seeking therapy.

Laura, I am enjoying working with you. You have a big heart and work so hard at growing and healing within yourself, but also at being a great mother.
Grace
Therapist
I initially joined Bark just to dip my toe in and see if there were any therapists I could see myself getting along with and being able to open up to.
I was extremely nervous and wasn’t quite sure if I was ready to take the leap until I had a consultation with Mandy, she was extremely easy to speak with on the initial phone call and instantly put me at ease, we agreed on starting with three sessions and see how I felt from there and now we have a regular weekly session.
Mandy’s kind, calm and caring approach has made our space/conversations feel comfortable and safe even when opening up about area’s that I wouldn’t ordinarily feel comfortable talking about. She has been extremely reliable and offers consistency (which is exactly what I need). I enjoy my sessions with Mandy and come away each time having gained new perspective or learnt something.
I could not recommend Hurt2Hope enough, I am so pleased to have connected with her!

Grace you are a joy to work with and it makes my work so meaningful to see you transition from being someone who always takes care of others, in a way that left you a little lost, exhausted and compromised, to someone who continues to be deeply loving and caring, but now, also content, peaceful, fully appreciative of your great value, living your greatness, and at the centre of so many loving relationships. Well done for all the personal development, healing from the past, and progress!
What do you love most about your job?
I love seeing people heal from challenging situations, grow in clarity and confidence and make life decisions that empower their lives and relationships with love, authenticity, tenacity, and creativity. I am inspired by the courage of clients to change themselves and then have an influence in making the world a better place.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Courage, confidence and a desire to not just work, but to live life and fulfil my dream desire of what that would look like professionally. Why settle for second best when I can have it all?
Why should our clients choose you?
Chose me if:
+ you no longer want to live a life that is full of pain, self-doubt, insurmountable obstacles. and you believe there is something more, and that you can be someone you really like.
+ you love nature
+ you want to feel accepted, cared about in a consistent, persistent way, and challenged to be your best because I can believe in you, if you believe in yourself enough to engage in your own emotional healing and empowerment.
+ you want to make a difference and you know that begins with you
+ you want to be a better wife, a better parent, a better professional, and most importantly a happier you.

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I request that clients do not attend face-to-face sessions if they are experiencing covid-19 symptoms, I stay healthy and keep a clean environment.
Life Counselling
If you are on this website looking for a counsellor you have made an amazing choice because you believe in yourself enough to want to grow and be different, or you are in so much emotional pain, you have to find life-changing answers. Welcome! I have the experience, discernment, tough love, compassion and positivity to help you live your greatness, even though that feels a distant dream right now.
Dealing with Depression
Sadness, loss and hopelessness can be very dark, dreary and overwhelming, but the good news is that right now you are your most vulnerable, your most honest, and that is a great strength. Dont be alone, there is hope, and we can work together to find a way of bringing the light back into your life, or maybe light into your life for the very first time. Lets walk and talk, engage in horticultural therapy (get our hands in the dirt, and garden, to grow a beautiful flower inside and out), engage in a dolphin dreamtime medication, and maybe even swim with free, ocean-moving dolphins.
Post-Divorce Adjustment
Divorce can be an end, but also a beginning. However if you don't want to repeat the same relationship mistakes over again, take some time to heal and reflect. The greatest gift you can give to yourself and your children right now, and always, is to get emotional support, and recover and rejuvenate to make some good decisions for the future. Do not rush, take your time.
Couples Counselling
Did you know that the partner you are struggling to get on with right now can be your greatest source of healing and maturation? It's true, but it does take some reflecting and understanding of yourself, first, and then of each other. I use Imago Relationship Therapy as a way of enabling couples to begin again to love the one they are with.
Advanced Parenting
Parents are often blamed and shamed not trained and famed. Parenting can be confusing and takes so much time and energy. I would like to help you with some advanced parenting skills undergirded by timeless concepts revealed in Thomas Gordon's book, Parent Effectiveness Training. He has sold over 2 million copies in 30 countries. Experiential learning of his techniques will make parenting worthwhile, but more importantly you will be able to connect with your children in a way that makes them feel heard, held and understood. They will become responsible and able to solve their own problems in age-appropriate way, have advanced social skills and personal clarity. You will be able to manage those emotional outbursts and de-regulated behaviours, and make win-win decisions as a family that everyone contributes to and carries out.
Professional Empowerment and Mindset for Success
We spend so much of our waking lives at work, it might as well be meaningful and exciting. I have been so inspired by people like Napoleon Hill - Think and Grow Rick, Bredon Burchard ( a modern day Napoleon Hill) - High Performance Habits: How Extraordinary People Became That Way, and the incredible Atlantic Crossing - alone!!! - on a SUP by Christ Birtish, who writes All In. I am passionate about empowering business people to have an influence and develop an organizational culture where there is shared leadership and people want to come to work.
