Compassionate Support

Amanda’s counselling is rooted in genuine compassion, ensuring that every
client feels heard, valued, and supported throughout their journey. She creates
a nurturing atmosphere where you are encouraged to share openly, knowing
that your thoughts and feelings will always be met with empathy and
understanding. This compassionate support helps to foster trust and build a
strong therapeutic relationship that is essential for meaningful growth and
lasting change.

Tailored to You

No two counselling journeys are ever the same. Each client brings their own
story, hopes, and challenges, and that’s why your sessions will always have
you at the centre. You decide what you want to explore, at your own pace, and
together we will focus on what matters most to you.

Faith-Sensitive Counselling

Grounded in Christian values yet respectful of every belief and background,
counselling can include faith if you choose — or remain fully focused on your own
goals. Your journey is unique, and you will always be treated with compassion,
respect, and understanding.

Person-Centred Therapy

A safe, non-judgemental space where you are truly heard. This approach helps you explore feelings and experiences at your own pace, building self-awareness and confidence.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Looks at how past experiences and relationships shape your present. This approach helps uncover hidden patterns and brings deeper understanding for lasting change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

A practical, structured method that helps identify negative thought patterns and replace them with healthier, more balanced ways of thinking and coping.

Mindfulness-Based Counselling

Gentle techniques that bring your attention to the present moment. Mindfulness can reduce stress, improve resilience, and support overall wellbeing.

Ready to Talk?

Counselling offers a safe, confidential space where you can be heard and supported.
