Amanda Holland

I specialise in couples work and relationships working with couples and individuals with practices in Hove, Saffron Walden and online.

Before training as a psychotherapist, I spent many years working in senior Human Resources, coaching and leadership roles, supporting individuals, teams and organisations through communication challenges, conflict and complex interpersonal situations. Those experiences sparked a lasting interest in how relationships influence our emotional wellbeing and the ways we connect with those closest to us.

This interest led me to retrain as a psychotherapist and to focus my work on helping couples understand the relational patterns that can leave them feeling disconnected, frustrated or hopeless.

I am warm but direct. For couples, I work to identify the patterns that create conflict and then work with the couple to create insight, understanding and skills. This may involve gently challenging behaviours and reactions and working with each individual to choose alternative approaches that will get them what they want.

I offer up to 12 sessions lasting an hour. This may be extended where required.
