A Little Bit
About Me
.
Hi, I’m Amy,
I am qualified to Level 7 Graduating with a Master’s in Counselling and Psychotherpy. My practice is grounded in Person-Centred Theory and it is rooted in working in a Trauma-Informed manner.
Since graduating, I have gone on to complete a number of training courses and have achieved a Level 7 Certificate in Clinical Supervision.
I am comfortable in working with clients of all ages, with my youngest client being aged 3. I have been told i have a way of working, particularly with children and young people that makes me relatable, and a safe space to explore the more challenging parts of life.
I currently spend my time counselling adults and children who have been affected by cancer, life-shortening illnesses, and bereavement. As well as supporting the survivors of rape, sexual abuse or sexualised violence. – These areas of work hold a particular place in my heart.
I also support clients who are living with mental health conditions such as, anxiety, depression, OCD, BPD and PTSD; and I have experience in working alongside clients experiencing disordered eating and those dealing with addiction and substance abuse. Offering counselling to those in recovery as well as working with their family members to support their recovery at home.
Supervision
As a Supervisor, I can offer you a space to discuss your practice, together we can navigate any ideas for future client work and we can discuss any areas for development, toegther we can work through any challenges you may face in your practice, in a safe, open space. I believe that the relationship between a Supervisor and Supervisee is invaluable to the Counsellor and their well-being, particularly as it is often a long standing professional relationship. Which is why I believe supervisees should take their time when finding the right Supervisor, If you’d like to have a chat please get in touch.
As per the guidelines set my own governing body, The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Supervisees are required to complete :
“A minimum of 1.5 hours per calendar month regardless of number of contracted clients.
Can be a mix of one to one, peer, telephone and online, as all these count for accreditation”

I can help by providing one-to-one sessions of Thereaputic Play or Counselling, for Children and Young people within your school setting. Allowing them to explore their emotions and experiences in a confidential space that is safe and familiar.
