Amanda’s role as your counsellor is to offer guidance, support, and a safe, confidential space where you can reflect openly and honestly. Drawing on her professional skills and extensive experience, Amanda will work alongside you to help you gain insight into what has brought you to seek therapy. Together, you will look at the roots of your concerns and identify opportunities for healing and growth. This collaborative approach ensures that your counselling experience remains truly yours —centred on you.
Every session is shaped around your unique journey, helping you find clarity,
strength, and hope.
The first appointment is an assessment session, where we talk about what has brought you to counselling, your goals, and how we might work together.
Each session lasts 1 hour.
Everyone’s journey is different. Some people benefit from short-term counselling, while others choose longer-term support. We’ll discuss this together in our first session.
Everything that is discussed in the therapy room is confidential. There are very
limited circumstances where your confidentiality may need to be broken. This would be in cases where there was a concern regarding your current mental state, if you were to disclose a crime that was not previously known or if there were safeguarding issues around children or other vulnerable people.
All client information is collected, managed, and disposed of strictly in accordance with GDPR regulations. Electronic records are securely maintained on an encrypted cloud platform, while paper-based documents are stored in a restricted-access, secure location available only to authorised personnel. These measures safeguard your privacy and maintain the confidentiality of personal data throughout your counselling process. Upon completion of sessions, all information gathered during counselling is deleted to ensure continued protection.
Not at all. Counselling is open to everyone. If you would like to explore faith in your sessions, we can, but there is never any expectation to do so.
Counselling supports a variety of concerns, such as:

Healing from abuse can be especially complex when it occurs within a faith-based or Christian context. Abuse in these settings may take many forms, leaving individuals doubting their self-worth or sense of autonomy. Factors such as a culture of silence, an emphasis on reputation, or misunderstandings about forgiveness may further discourage disclosure and access to help. If you are processing these experiences, counselling provides a confidential and understanding space to gently explore your story.
