Amanda Asserati

I have over 20 years experience providing a highly professional, sensitive and confidential Counselling Service (GDRP Compliant).

I have worked for various organisations including Cruse, Relate, Rape & Sexual Abuse Crisis, NHS Drug & Alcohol and Trauma Support. Currently I have a Private Practice, work for the NHS, Barnardo's and most well known Private Healthcare Insurance Providers (EAP's).

It is important that you feel comfortable working with me. Therefore, when you contact me for the first time, I will offer you a Consultation, during which you will be able to ask me any questions you may have and I can assess how to best help you. You will be under no obligation to book further sessions.

I will see you as a unique individual and I will endeavour not to form an opinion as to what kind of person you are or judge you in any way. My interest is in helping you understand yourself and explore how your life can be satisfying, by taking responsibility for your own thoughts, feelings and behaviour.

I make a serious commitment to working with issues of difference and equality. Therefore, I regularly attend workshops focussing on these issues, along with other regular training to inform my practice and enable me to provide a safe and highly professional service.

As do all Counsellors, I have ongoing formal consultative support (Supervision) in accordance with professional requirements. This is so that I can regularly monitor my work to maintain good practice. During these meetings I will only be discussing what my thoughts were in our sessions, maintaining client confidentiality.
