About me and my therapy practice
Hello, I'm Amanda. With a background working the NHS for over 25 years as a Specialist Nurse, I am particularly experienced in issues of bereavement, depression, anxiety, women's health, family and parenting issues. All issues welcomed.
Practice description
Hello, I’m Amanda, an Integrative Counsellor offering counselling for individual adults in South West London. With a career spanning over 25 years as an NHS Specialist Public Health Nurse and a Palliative Care Nurse, I am particularly experienced in issues of bereavement and loss, depression, anxiety, women's health and family and parenting issues. All issues you may wish to discuss are welcomed.
There are times in all our lives that can feel challenging, painful, distressing or overwhelming to cope with. It might be that you are caught up in endless worrying, having painful memories of difficult past experiences, or you may need some support while going through a life transition. My approach is warm, collaborative and compassionate. I offer a calm, supportive, non-judgemental and inclusive space to explore whatever you would like to talk about, at a pace that is comfortable for you. Being an integrative counsellor means I draw on different theories to inform our work together. I trained at the Minster Centre, a leading Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling Institute, and am registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I understand that it can be hard to take the first steps towards therapy. If you would like to explore working together I offer a free consultation by phone to talk about the kind of support you are seeking and answer any questions you may have. If you would like to book a call please get in touch by email: amanda.ann.bridge@gmail.com
