I am licensed in the UK with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & coping with grief and loss. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
We all have times in our lives when we feel unable to cope and day to day life is just too much. Sometimes we know exactly why we feel like this and want some support while we work through it, but other times we may need extra help to work out what's going on for us.
I offer a safe, warm and accepting space where we can explore these issues at a pace that suits you. We will work together to help you gain perspective, understanding and work towards any goals, until you feel equipped and able to move forward on your own.
Whatever situation you find yourself in, I will be here to work with you confidentially and respectfully.

10/10, She’s helped me reach and realise my full potential. A kind, caring therapist who always has my best interest at heart.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the support and care I’ve received from Amanda while I grieve the loss of my sister as well as a breakup in the same time frame. When I first started therapy, I was in a very dark place, feeling lost and overwhelmed. From our very first session, Amanda made me feel truly heard and understood. She always listened without judgment, creating a space where I felt emotionally safe to open up and explore my thoughts and feelings.
Over time, Amanda has become more than just a therapist; she feels like a friend and a true cheerleader in my journey. Her encouragement and unwavering belief in me have given me a renewed sense of hope and a new lease on life. I can confidently say that I wouldn't be where I am today without her guidance and support.
If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and is dedicated to helping you find your way, I wholeheartedly recommend Amanda. She’s made an incredible difference in my life, and I’m forever thankful for her.

Amanda has been very. Helpful throughout our sessions. I've been with her for 8 weeks now and had very in depth conversations which I would usually find uncomfortable with another person. Although sometimes I just talk about somethings which has happened in the week, Amanda will pick up on how this relates back to patterns of my behaviour or areas for self improvement/recognition that we've discussed in the past. I would really recommend Amanda, she is a great listener, very honest and intuitive
