My Approach

My approach is not just about offering therapeutic support; it's about creating a space where you feel able to explore your patterns of thinking, feeling, relating, and being.

I believe in the power of curiosity, compassion, and challenge as catalysts for change. Being a Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapist, means I honour the whole of your being and all your experiences. My background in Transactional Analysis—gives us a framework for unravelling relationship dynamics and communication patterns. I will draw on a variety of evidence-based theories to create a tailored approach suited to your individual needs.

Together, we'll unearth the roots of your pain, navigate new decisions, and cultivate resilience—empowering you to embrace positive changes.

Whether you're contending with mental health challenges, grappling with the aftermath of abuse and trauma on your self-esteem, or simply on a journey of personal growth, I am here for you.

About Me

Hiya, I'm Amanda—a therapist dedicated to empowering adults on the path to recovery from the effects of trauma. If you've landed here, you may have frequent anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or challenges in your relationships. Traumatic events and abusive relationships at any age can impact your identity and leave you feeling stuck in the past. If life feels like it keeps repeating the same cycles, it may be time for change.

You can move forward.

For the past six years, I've been committed to supporting individuals with complex histories of trauma and abuse. Including those with unexplained physical symptoms such as chronic pain and fatigue. Together, we will learn to manage both the emotional and physical symptoms, increase your confidence, and disavow any shame you may be carrying.

My goal is to assist you in navigating present day challenges and work towards enhancing your relationships—with others, but most importantly, with yourself.
