Compassionate Support

With over 25 years’ experience in healthcare and counselling, Amanda offers a safe, confidential space where you can talk openly and feel truly heard.

Tailored to You

No two journeys are the same. Using a blend of Person-Centred Therapy, CBT, Psychodynamic techniques and Mindfulness, I adapts each session to your needs.

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.

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.
