Hello, my name is Ellie and I'm a qualified Therapist working face to face and Online. I know the idea of therapy can feel daunting and vulnerable at first. My main focus is on providing a genuine, friendly and judgement-free space where you feel comfortable to bring your whole self.

We all go through times in our lives where we struggle to cope and things just feel overwhelming. We can’t always talk to family and friends so speaking out and opening up to a counsellor can help you feel listened to. Counselling gives you a safe space, allowing you to talk freely without fear of judgment. A counsellor can help you see things clearer and help you to explore your thoughts and feelings.

Perhaps you are struggling with a particular difficulty or relationship or are feeling low, overwhelmed, or lost. Facing up to these struggles can feel daunting. I offer a friendly, warm, and relaxed encounter that allows for self-exploration, growth and recovery. It is not often that we are free to tell our story and reflect authentically on our experience. My approach is a non-judgemental one in which my clients feel heard and validated.

I’m Amanda and I trained as a psychodynamic individual and couple counsellor and psychotherapist at Tavistock Relationships – recognised nationally and internationally as a leading authority on couple relationships. I specialise in open-ended therapy that will allow you to reflect on past experiences to make sense of the present.

Thanks for visiting my page.

Regardless of what may be taking place in your life: you may be stuck with a current problem that is bothering you and you require some help to unravel it. Or it could be wanting to face some difficulties from your past, I am here to listen, help you make sense and unravel your feelings. I wholeheartedly believe that the key to successful therapy is the relationship between the two of us in the therapy room.

If you are suffering stress and mental fatigue, depression, obsessive worries, low-self-esteem, feelings of being stuck and out of sync with the world, you may have past experiences that have not been sufficiently processed and thought about. By talking through and understanding yourself and your patterns and by challenging negative self-perceptions you can begin to build self-esteem, self-awareness and a more positive relationship with yourself and consequently with others.
