When I first reached out to Amy, I was struggling with crippling  anxiety that felt overwhelming and constant. It affected my relationships, my work, and my ability to enjoy life. It was like living in a thick fog, everything felt like white noise. I was never truly present, constantly stuck in my own head.

 

I’d never had therapy before, so I was nervous to take that first step. But Amy made the process feel safe, calm, and approachable. She created a space where I could open up without fear or judgement. Her grounded presence helped me make sense of what I was going through.

 

At first, she helped me understand why I was feeling the way I was. Amy helped me uncover the root of my anxiety. Once I understood that connection, everything began to make more sense. From there, we worked together on understanding, acceptance, and developing healthy coping mechanisms. It took time, but gradually my entire perspective began to shift. With every session, I felt a part of myself returning.

 

Once I had a handle on the anxiety, we were able to explore other areas of my life that I’d never had the mental space to truly consider. My work, my relationships, and my future aspirations. As someone entering their thirties, Amy gently prompted me to reflect on what I truly value. That process gave me clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of direction.

 

Looking back, making that first call to Amy set me on a life-changing path. I now feel more like myself than I have in years, with a deeper sense of purpose and peace. If you’re suffering, feeling lost, or simply not where you want to be in life, I can’t recommend Amy enough. Take that first step. It genuinely changed my life

Amy has had a huge impact on me, when I started seeing her I had lost control of certain aspects of my life and what was normal had become a hurdle I couldn’t get over.  

 

I had previously had counselling before so I thought I knew what to expect but Amy was completely different.  She supported me to put strategies in place to combat panic attacks, helped me be more compassionate and understanding of myself and allowed me to not be afraid of anxiety anymore. 

 

Over time simple things that I had lost the ability to do such as go on a train or take a plane journey were no longer an issue.  It’s not an understatement to say Amy allowed me to live my life again and I know where she is if I ever need her.  She is warm, compassionate and empathetic

'When I found Amy, I was in a low place, I had tried counselling before but didn't feel their approach worked for me and had started to lose hope in the process. I started sessions and felt immediately safe and supported. There was no judgement, I wasn't afraid to talk about anything because there was just understanding and kindness that came back.

I struggle to understand and process my emotions and feelings and Amy has helped  me to get a handle on these things and take away some of those stresses.


It's not a quick process but it has been made easier with the help of our sessions and I couldn't be more grateful for the work Amy has put in with me.'' 

"Amy helped me in a very different way than I initially expected. At times I wanted answers, but she didn’t give them directly. Instead she gave me the tools and strategies to answer my own questions and make decisions myself. She helped me to establish boundaries and realise some self-worth, she’s also helped me to understand some of my own behaviours and how to deal with situations (both in and out of my control)."

 

“Crown counselling gave me the space I needed to freely discuss my thoughts and feelings, without the fear of being judged or dismissed. Not only did I have that space to reflect on my relationships but I also got to understand and know myself better…and for that I will always be extremely grateful to Amy and the space she created for me.”

"Working with Amy provided me with a safe space to offload and to work through the issues I had. Just being able to talk openly without the fear of being judged helped massively. Amy helped me to see things from different perspectives and to focus on the things I can control in my life rather than endlessly worrying about the things I cannot. I left the sessions with a clearer mind and felt like a weight had been lifted every time. The changes in myself were subtle but were built upon each session until I felt confident enough to go it alone."

"When I started sessions with Amy, I was really struggling with my emotional health (I had tried two other counsellors, but their approach didn’t really work for me). 

I went into my sessions with an open mind, hoping to find someone to offer me a safe place, and someone who could help me. Amy certainly did!!"

"I'm so grateful for my time with Amy and all her support. When the time came to finish the sessions, I was apprehensive in case I needed my weekly support. Amy gave me the opportunity to revisit a few weeks later to ensure I was happy and ready to finish the sessions.


I know where Amy is if I ever feel I need support, but we both hope I won’t need to. 


If you’re feeling lost, and need someone to help you to find your way or even someone by your side on a difficult journey, I’d really recommend getting in touch with Amy."

"Amy is approachable, calm and warm. I have been able to express my thoughts and feelings in a comfortable environment. Amy listened to everything I had to say and I felt I was heard. She responded with comments and questions which enabled me to reflect and see things in completing different ways. Amy has shared theories and encouraged me to take part in activities that have been extremely beneficial.  I have gained a better understanding of 'me' and the importance of self-worth and self-awareness. She has certainly helped me to think about strategies about how to deal with the anxiety and stress in my life. It has been a valued experience of personal reflection."
