Greetings, I'm Amanda. By reading my profile, you've taken the initial steps towards focusing on your needs.

With over twenty-five years of experience as a Dual Nurse, encompassing roles as both a Registered General Nurse and a Registered Mental Health Nurse, I bring a wealth of expertise to my practice. Additionally, I hold a Degree in Health Studies and obtained qualifications in Person-Centered Counseling with a Diploma in early 2020. Furthermore, I am also an EMDR-Qualified Practitioner in adult and children.

In my counseling practice, I prioritise the value and respect of each client, maintaining strict confidentiality within a safe and comfortable environment. Here, you're encouraged to share your concerns, anxieties, and issues in a non-judgmental atmosphere.

Recognising the challenges life can present, I assure you that during our counseling sessions, there will be no judgment. Instead, I strive to establish an excellent and trusting rapport, ensuring that these sessions serve as your dedicated time and space to explore your thoughts and emotions.

My role is to support you on your personal journey, helping you uncover your inner strength and discover your own answers. Through our work together, you'll gain new insights, resilience, and confidence to continue on your life journey.

Rest assured, I am committed to being by your side every step of the way.

In January 2020, I achieved a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from Preston's College.

My journey into counselling began later in life after obtaining qualifications as a Registered Nurse in 1995 and as a Registered Mental Health Nurse in 1999. Additionally, I hold a degree in Health Studies. I am also certified as an EMDR-Qualified Practitioner in Child and Adolescents.

My primary focus lies within the realm of mental health, particularly addressing issues such as panic attacks, self-harm, and anxiety. Counselling, in my experience, is a powerful tool for enhancing mental well-being, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking improvement in their mental health.

Upon making contact, we'll schedule your first session at your convenience. In my inviting therapy room, you'll discover a warm and welcoming atmosphere where you can freely express any worries or concerns.

During your initial session, you'll be greeted with warmth, a friendly smile, and a refreshing drink. I'll personally guide you through the space, ensuring you feel comfortable and acquainted with your surroundings.

This initial meeting is crucial as it allows you the opportunity to determine if I am the right counsellor for you. Throughout our time together, my focus lies in cultivating a trusting relationship where you feel secure sharing in a confidential and supportive environment.

Counselling sessions last one hour, during which I will attentively listen to your thoughts and feelings. Your well-being and comfort are my top priorities, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

My inviting therapy room is available for appointments Monday through Saturday, from 9 am to 6 pm.

I am highly flexible and can often accommodate counselling sessions to align with your schedule and preferences.

Additionally, I offer counselling sessions either in-person or remotely.

As a supervisor, I am also open to inquiries and welcome individuals seeking supervision for their counselling practice. Feel free to reach out for further information or to discuss your needs.

As a counselling supervisor, I am deeply committed to providing comprehensive support and guidance to my supervisees during our supervision sessions. My approach is founded on fostering an atmosphere of trust, openness, and mutual respect, wherein supervisees feel empowered to explore their clinical work, challenges, and personal growth.

During our sessions, I offer a safe space where supervisees can reflect on their therapeutic practice, enhance their skills, and address any difficulties they may encounter. I provide constructive feedback, drawing upon my extensive experience and knowledge in mental health and counseling, to facilitate their professional development.

I tailor my supervision approach to meet the unique needs and learning styles of each supervisee, recognising that individuals have diverse backgrounds, experiences, and areas for growth. Whether it involves discussing clinical cases, exploring theoretical concepts, or addressing ethical dilemmas, I strive to create a supportive environment where supervisees feel validated, encouraged, and inspired to reach their full potential as counselors.

Moreover, I prioritise ongoing learning and professional development, regularly integrating current research, best practices, and ethical considerations into our supervision sessions. By staying attuned to emerging trends and advancements in the field, I aim to equip supervisees with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide high-quality, ethical counselling services to their clients.

Overall, my goal as a counselling supervisor is to empower supervisees to navigate the complexities of their clinical work with confidence, compassion, and integrity. I am dedicated to nurturing their professional growth and facilitating their journey toward becoming skilled, self-aware, and ethically responsible counsellors.
