What do you love most about your job?
I love my job because I feel it is so rewarding. It is so humbling that my clients trust me with their innermost thoughts and feelings, I feel very honoured that I am allowed to walk alongside them for part of their journey.
I have people come to me who sit in reception hunched over, barely able to give eye contact because their circumstances leave them feeling so low. After a period of time (for some 12 sessions, for others a couple of years or any number of sessions in between) during which we will have collaboratively worked through issues, no matter how difficult; I then witness those same clients who are able to give eye contact, holding themselves up straight and smile. Clients feel so much better about themselves once they have had the space to express exactly how they feel without fear of offending someone, or of someone correcting them . Counselling provides the opportunity for clients to explore and at least begin to understand their emotions and reactions to their situation even if between us we are not actually able to change the circumstances themselves.
What inspired you to start your own business?
In honesty, I began Amadea Counselling because I knew that I had so much I could give to help those who are vulnerable. I found the idea of setting up on my own a really daunting prospect at first however, I have not looked back Jenny now works with me and our goal is to be able to offer affordable counselling to all. There appears to be a huge gap in the market, either 6-8 sessions for free/private counselling, which is inaccesible to many. Jenny and I are looking at ways in which we can gain funding in order to provide a solution for that gap.....watch this space!
Why should our clients choose you?
Amadea provides you with a safe-space where you can be yourself without fear of judgement. No emotion is a wrong emotion when in this counselling environment, no matter what your circumstance; neither is anything you say incorrect, inappropriate etc. It doesn't matter who you are, or what your background is, you will be accepted and welcomed at Amadea for as long as it takes for you to feel that you are in a better place.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes I am able to provide online counselling via Google Meet, WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams /Skype, , Facebook Messenger etc.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?

Counselling
I am an integrative counsellor using any one or a combination of Psychodynamic, CBT, Systemic and Person Centred skills, dependent upon the needs of each individual client. I have specialisms in working with children; individuals with special educational needs or those on the autistic spectrum; and in working with creative media.
