Practice description

I build strong, impactful therapeutic relationships. "Amy combines robust psychological knowledge and extensive clinical experience with a thoughtful, emotionally intelligent and compassionate approach to patient care“ - Dr Brian Marien, Co-founder of the Positive Group.

Many patients I support have suffered with chronic anxiety and depression, low self-esteem, self-harm, OCD, trauma, suicidal thoughts, addiction and physical and psychological pain. I use a range of psychological techniques resulting in a high recovery rate, enabling patients to achieve lasting, positive change. Please contact my PA regarding appointments.

I have in-depth clinical knowledge of how to manage complex psychological conditions and where required, work in conjunction with my patient's GP and a range of other health professionals to manage their care.

My approach is designed to enable my patients to become fully capable of managing their own emotional distress without having to rely on psychological services long term.

My first session

I will work with you to help you describe how you are feeling and make sense of what is happening to you. You will be supported with kindness and empathy but you will also be challenged when you are ready, so that you can begin to take control of your problems and make different decisions in your life that lead to better outcomes.

I am also trained in a number of other psychological modalities and adjust my approach to treatment based on the needs of the individual I am working with.
