I came to Amy in a incredible dark space, I had developed a phobia of driving and general anxiety which was spilling into my person life making everything I did feel impossible. My job was in jepody as I am expected to drive as part of my role and I could not get behind the wheel of a car without having panic attacks.
Amy was unbelievablely patient with me, she listened and gave very pertinent advice. Slowly I was able to manage my general anxiety making the daunting challenge of driving easier. She helped me put in place good habits and allowed a sounding board for my other stressors.
I now drive without issue every day as part of my role without issue.
This is down to Amy, her patience, her empathy, her listening skills, her advice. I do not have the words, she is incredible and an absolute asset to this service.

This was my first experience of a therapy service and I couldn’t be happier with Amy’s approach and the outcome. She was incredibly supportive and adaptive.
I now feel better equipped to deal with life’s challenges, yet reassured that Amy is there to help in the future if needed.

Amy made me feel comfortable straight away upon our first online meeting. She speaks with confidence and listens with care all while maintaining a warm atmosphere. She replies quickly and I'm already starting to feel better because I've been properly listened too. I trust that her experience in the field will allow me to learn new ways of coping with my struggles. Thank you Amy

Having a few sessions with Amy has already changed my perspective on things, she listens, sets goals, and supports me. I strongly recommend her as a therapist and she does an incredible job.

Amy is incredible, she listens intently to me with zero judgment and unravels what I tell her into simplified thought patterns. I was so nervous about getting therapy and how I would be judges, I feel none of that with her and trust her so much that I have told her things I wouldn’t even admit fully to myself and that’s really helped my experience. I’m so excited to continue working with her.
