Hello! ​I'm Amy 

​

I’m a Therapeutic Counsellor, a wife and a mum of two. I love coffee, good food whether that’s cooking it or eating it, travelling, music, and the occasional Netflix binge.

​

But the most important thing I want you to know is this: I’m also someone who has lived with severe anxiety—and I found my way through it. That’s why I do the work I do today.

​

My own journey with anxiety began many years ago after receiving unexpected health news about a close family member. It completely threw me off balance. Almost overnight, I went from feeling confident, happy, and secure to living in a constant state of panic and fear. I barely recognised myself, and it was terrifying.

 

Over time, therapy helped me heal. I learned that anxiety wasn’t something I had to fight against. It was something I could listen to, understand, and move through with compassion. I discovered how to give myself kindness instead of criticism, and how to stop trying to “fix” anxiety by pushing it away.

​

That experience shaped everything about how I work now. I’m passionate about helping others learn to work with their anxiety, to understand what it’s trying to say, and to see that it doesn’t have to control or define them. Together, we can find calm, hope, and a gentler way forward.

​

If that sounds like what you need then​​​​​​ I would love to work with you!

​​​​

Please feel free to email me with any questions or check out my FAQ page for more info on what is involved in working with me.

​

I look forward to hearing from you.
