A little about me

Qualified and experienced therapist

Hi, I’m Amy and I’m here to help. I know exactly how heavy anxiety feels because I’ve lived it too. This personal insight, combined with my BACP-accredited expertise and EMDR training, means I offer support built on real-world understanding rather than just textbooks. Together, we’ll untangle those racing thoughts so you can finally feel steady and back in control. My online sessions are highly effective and convenient, providing professional support from the privacy of your own home, making it easier to prioritise your wellbeing.

Reaching out is often the hardest part, but it’s a vital first step towards feeling better. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can chat about what you’re experiencing and ensure you feel comfortable with how we’ll work together. Whether you are dealing with burnout, trauma, or daily stress, I provide a calm, non-judgemental space where we can work at your pace to help you find your balance again.

My Approach

“It helped to talk openly to someone who doesn’t know me. It was like an empty page to write in and not be or feel judged. Amy affirmed my thoughts and feelings. Our sessions have been my safe place.”

Expectations

What to expect at therapy?

Starting therapy shouldn’t feel like another thing to worry about. We begin with a brief, informal phone call to talk through what’s on your mind and see how I can help. From there, we move to secure video sessions that fit easily around your life.

There’s no pressure to “perform” or have all the answers. In our sessions, you have a private space to speak openly without judgement. We’ll work together to understand your triggers and use practical techniques—including EMDR where helpful—to ease the physical and mental weight of anxiety. It’s a collaborative process, always moving at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
