Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
I have been practising as a psychotherapist in the City of London since 2004.
I support individuals to gain perspective, navigate challenges and make thoughtful decisions about their lives.
Most of my clients are highly capable professionals. They are often relied upon for leadership, judgement and advice, yet behind that responsibility they may be carrying complex personal pressures or facing difficult decisions.
My role is to offer a confidential space where you can step back, reflect and think clearly about what matters most.
Training and Professional Background
I trained in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy and have completed further postgraduate training in Solution Focused Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Family Constellations, trauma informed approaches and Somatic Experiencing.
I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Before retraining as a psychotherapist, I worked in advertising and later ran my own hospitality business in Soho. This experience gives me a grounded understanding of the pressures and responsibilities that often accompany professional life and leadership.
Alongside my clinical work, I co-founded The Food Chain, a charity supporting people living with HIV/AIDS. I also served for several years as an independent advisor to the City of London Police.
My Work Today
Today I work extensively with lawyers, financial services professionals, creatives and high net worth individuals. Many of them are managing significant responsibility while navigating private pressures.
Some clients come during moments of crisis or transition. Others arrive because they sense something in their lives needs reflection, clarity or change.
My aim is to help you develop greater insight, confidence and perspective as you move forward.
“It requires a particular set of skills to empower people to talk freely about their problems, drawing out not only the key difficulties but also underlying issues which may not have been apparent. I felt safe in the knowledge that our discussions were confidential and emotionally secure in the empathetic environment which Amanda provided, free to discuss concerns which otherwise might have remained buried, without anxiety or fear.”
