Hi, I’m Amy.

My approach is grounded in the values of empathy, respect, and empowerment. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and together we’ll explore what’s going on at your pace, in your own way.

What I can offer:

• A safe, confidential space in Headingley (Leeds) or online to explore what's impacting you
• Psychological frameworks to help shine a light on distress tolerance practice and common thought traps
• Collaborative safety planning around your needs

I am trauma-informed, which means I understand how past experiences can continue to shape our lives in the present – emotionally, physically and psychologically. My work is gentle, relational and always led by your needs and comfort.

While I lead with a person-centred approach—ensuring each session focuses on what matters most to you—I can also incorporate structured interventions for substance and alcohol recovery, distress tolerance, sleep difficulties, and safety planning, tailored to your needs.

I offer sessions at a confidential and welcoming space in:

Online/Remote Counselling

I offer sessions remotely via Google Meet as standard. If you would prefer to use another method (e.g. WhatsApp video or telephone), please let me know before the session starts so we can make suitable arrangements.

• Standard Fee: £50 per session (in-person or online)
