Background/Experience

I have worked in a wide range of services including Victim Support, Youth Offending Teams, offender rehabilitation, special educational needs schools, and Cruse Bereavement Care. These roles gave me broad experience of supporting people through trauma, loss, conflict, and change.

I am also a qualified hypnotherapist and hypnobirthing practitioner, and have trained in conflict resolution, group facilitation, and restorative justice. Living abroad as a young person and travelling extensively has shaped my outlook and strengthened my appreciation of cultural and individual differences.

Through these experiences I have developed a deep respect for the resilience of people from all walks of life, and a strong belief in the importance of empathy, openness, and understanding in therapy.

How Amanda can help you

  • Build trust and rapport: I will work with you to create a strong foundation where therapy feels safe and collaborative.
  • A supportive space: Every session is a place where you will feel understood, accepted, and able to share openly.
  • Strengthen communication: I will help you reduce conflict, communicate more calmly, and build mutual understanding.
  • Work through evolving issues: Whatever concerns you bring — even if they change over time — we will explore them together.
  • Practical strategies: I will guide you in finding tools you can use day to day to create positive and lasting change.
