My Approach

As an Integrative Therapist I can draw on a variety of theories to support you, including Gestalt, Person-centred, Psychodynamic, and Attachment theories. As a Body Psychotherapist I am conscious of the connections between our emotions and the way they're expressed or held in our bodies, and how helpful it can be to notice them and bring them into our work together.

I see people who might be struggling with immediate issues or who are concerned about something that has been under the surface for a long time. I also see people who are just not happy with the way their life is going and who want to make changes that help them live in a more satisfying way.

I work with individual adults, for long-term or short-term therapy, in person, online or by phone.

About Me

Hello, I'm Amanda, and I understand that finding the right therapist and starting therapy can feel overwhelming, so I hope that this helps you decide whether we might work well together. My aim is to provide a welcoming, safe and compassionate space for you to explore any difficulties and painful emotions you may be experiencing, in privacy and without judgement.

I'm an experienced Integrative Body Psychotherapist and have worked privately and in a counselling centre for 14 years, and before that I worked in business and the NHS, so I have a wide experience of workplace and personal issues. You're welcome to visit my website, amandarpyschotherapy.co.uk for more info.

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

We all experience anxiety at some time in our lives, but sometimes it can feel overwhelming and all-consuming and we need help in learning to manage it.
Although we all lose people, animals or parts of our lives that we love, how we deal with bereavement and grief can be very different and sometimes we need support in working through those feelings.
I am interested in working with people who have sexual issues and have taken further training in psychosexual therapy, gaining a foundation certificate awarded by The Grove.
