Welcome, my name is Amy and I am a qualified Transactional Analysis counsellor registered with BACP. I am an experienced counsellor and have a warm, caring personality.
Counselling is about you and having a safe place for you to talk. Sadly, I don’t have a magic wand, but what I do have, and create for you, is a caring, confidential, compassionate and supportive environment. I am there to listen without judgement and to truly hear what is going on for you and how you are feeling.
Life is not just about surviving, it’s about living, and my passion is to help each and every client thrive. Taking the first step can be scary but please know you are not alone.
Every person is unique and I believe there is no set text book blueprint, so I use a variety of methods, techniques and safe simple strategies to support you and meet your individual needs. Working together I will encourage you to notice and explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and sensations.
I will help you to understand your experiences and how they may impact on your daily life and relationships, and work together with you, to help you understand yourself better, to move forwards and make changes.
I offer individual and couples counselling on a wide variety of issues including but not limited to trauma, abuse, grief, anxiety and relationships. Evening and weekend appointments available.
I have been working as a qualified counsellor for over 11 years. Counselling at Quetzal, with females recovering from the trauma of childhood sexual abuse, and at Leicester counselling centre, counselling adults experiencing a wide range of issues. I have worked as a crisis worker providing emotional support to victims of rape and sexual abuse, working with males and females immediately after they have experienced trauma and also those seeking help with historic abuse.
I have always been passionate and enjoyed working with people. I volunteered for Barnardo’s, working with young carers in groups and individually. I’ve worked with the Prince's Trust supporting 16 – 25 year old through a 12 week programme and been an assistant youth worker.
I am also a qualified mediator, having mediated work-related and personal cases.
I look forward to meeting you.
