Hello!

I’m Amy, a registered Clinical Psychologist with experience working in both forensic and community settings. I enjoy working with adults with a range of psychological difficulties and have particular interest in supporting people who wish to get deeply in touch with their inner experience . 

 

I offer a warm, light-hearted therapeutic space, that feels natural, conversational, and even a bit of fun. I prioritise safety in the therapeutic space, which will look different for everyone. While I have a gentle approach, I will also challenge you where appropriate and help you to make the changes necessary for personal growth. I hope to support you to turn toward inner experience, rather than away from it so that you are able to feel at home within yourself.

My Approach

My approach is trauma-informed and relational. I draw on a range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities depending upon what is most suitable for you, such as:

  • Schema Therapy

  • Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)

  • Motivational Interviewing (MI)
     

Depending on what you’re experiencing, therapy with me might include:

  • Slowing down and establishing safety and stability

  • Getting in touch with internal sensations and parts of self

  • Learning to recognise early signs of dysregulation 

  • Exploring a range of regulation strategies and building a toolkit that suits you best 

  • Exploring underlying thoughts, patterns, and behaviours and building an understanding of where these originated from (i.e. from early childhood experiences) and how they contribute to current difficulties

  • Identify coping mechanisms that are no longer adaptive and developing alternate approaches

  • Working to improve communication and boundary setting with others

  • Processing targeted experiences at a careful, supported pace
