About me and my therapy practice
Hello, I’m Ameda (she/her), a dual-national therapist working in a BAME and LGBTQIA+ affirmative way. I offer 1:1 online sessions (50 minutes) and bring 24 years of experience in health and social care across both NHS and private sectors. I’m trained in critical incident response and work sensitively with clients in the aftermath of high-impact events. I'm a registered member of the International Society for Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD), the European Society for Trauma and Dissociation (ESTD), and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MÍø±¬ÃÅ). I provide SCID-D assessments, diagnostic support, and tailored treatment plans.
Practice description
My approach is person-centred and experiential, drawing from a broad range of theoretical perspectives to work in an integrative and responsive way.
I work in a sex- and body-positive manner and offer affirming support to those in the sex industry.
Much of my career has focused on working with individuals impacted by personal or vicarious trauma, especially those in chaotic or high-stress environments.
I work with a range of issues, including:
Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)
Complex PTSD (CPTSD)
Post-Traumatic Stress / Disorder (PTS/D)
Faith-based abuse
Satanic & ritualistic abuse

Gaslighting

Vicarious trauma
Trauma and critical incidents
For clients with DID, double-length sessions (100 minutes) are available.
My first session
