Amanda Royle

I am an experienced Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist working from my private practice in West End, Esher where I offer long or short term work, face to face or online sessions. 

I understand the idea of therapy can feel daunting, for some, but my warm, down to earth approach, and peaceful garden setting, aims to put you at ease and allow for a collaborative and supportive relationship and exploration of your situation. 

I draw from a wide range of models that allow for a bespoke way of working. I have extensive experience working with bereavement and loss of various forms, anxiety, depression, anger, demotivation, identity issues, relationship difficulties, physical symptoms, PTSD and trauma.

I undertake regular Continued Personal Development and supervision to maintain a good standard of practice and work in accordance with the BACP’s ethical framework that priorities commitment to confidentiality and respect of my clients’ diverse individual needs.

I work holistically with an emphasis on the relationship between mind and body. A mind-body approach helps address historic patterns and encourages deeper levels of healing. 

My core models are Psychodynamic, Person Centred and Existential.  I also draw, where appropriate, from a range of  psychobiological models, including Somatic Experiencing, Polyvagal Theory, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Neuroscience, EMDR and Mindfulness-based therapies.

Our first session offers you an opportunity to give an overview of your situation and how it's affecting your life, work and relationships. 

We also get a sense of how it feels between us, how we might work together and whether we feel like a good match for each other. 

I aim to briefly outline possible ways of working together and welcome questions and preferences for particular approaches.
