Amanda shows empathy, understanding and can gently challenge my surface emotions. I feel she has a good sense of my process and this reflects during my session when she summarises back to me. It is important for me to feel heard and understood and I feel this is what I receive from Amanda.

My person-centred training, underpins my approach, this means I hold the belief that you are the expert of you, and will help you to come to an understanding of your concerns that feels true to you.
However, I appreciate one size does not fit all and I draw on elements other approaches as part of my work.
My experience includes me working with trauma and this includes victims of domestic abuse, stalking and coercive control. I have worked with various mental health diagnosis and those who have had alcohol and drug dependency, work concerns and those wanting to explore their faith.
I have a special interest in dis-enfranchised grief, working with those whose loss is often not validated by society.
Ultimately, I am here to support you on your journey and walk with you in taking these important steps towards change.
I look forward to meeting you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Amanda is an amazingly kind and understanding person. She always moves me in the right direction.
After a few false starts with other therapists over the last several years I am so glad to have found Amanda and have sincerely enjoyed speaking with her over the last two months. I appreciate her kindness, patience and thoughtfulness. I used to feel nervous before my appointments and now I feel excited in the lead up to our sessions to continue our work together. I would highly recommend Amanda
Amanda has been incredibly patient with me and suggested some exercises for me to do, where she felt appropriate. I feel that my concerns are heard during our session and reflected upon effectively.
