We are Stagetext, a deaf-led charity. We are passionate about making the arts a more welcoming and accessible place.

12 million people in the UK are deaf, deafened or hard of hearing. That means one in five of us rely on subtitles and captions to experience the joy of live theatre, to sing along with our favourite musicals, to take guided tours around museums, or to see our favourite authors speak at festivals.

We make these experiences possible. Using our two decades of experience, we employ the latest technology and set the highest standards in access, to give everyone a complete and equal experience of the arts.

Our founders knew how isolating it can be when you’re forced to be left out. We never want anyone to feel that way again.

Wel­come, my name is Aman­da and I am a child and ado­les­cent psy­cho­dy­nam­ic counsellor. 

Some­times our capac­i­ty to cope can get affect­ed dur­ing times of dis­tress. Our cop­ing mech­a­nisms that have always worked fail to make a dif­fer­ence and you find your­self or your child in crises. 

After spend­ing sev­er­al years study­ing men­tal health, ther­a­peu­tic prac­tice and coun­selling skills at uni­ver­si­ty, in addi­tion to many years work­ing with young peo­ple in edu­ca­tion and the NHS, I want to re-assure you that your well­be­ing and men­tal health will be my pri­or­i­ty if you decid­ed to work with me. 

Psy­cho­dy­nam­ic coun­selling is a style of coun­selling that gets to the root cause as to what is inter­rupt­ing the here and now. Although I am specif­i­cal­ly trained in chil­dren’s prac­tice, I have expe­ri­ence and am able to work with and sup­port adults also. 

I offer a con­tain­ing, safe, non-judge­men­tal ser­vice of week­ly one-to-one or small group ses­sions, either in per­son or on Zoom. 

Hav­ing a child with a social, emo­tion­al or men­tal health need can be extreme­ly chal­leng­ing and I believe in sup­port­ing par­ents through this process and will meet and com­mu­ni­cate with you at inter­vals whilst sup­port­ing your child. 

When work­ing with younger clients, I use a range of play, toys, sand tray, art and com­mu­ni­ca­tion meth­ods to under­stand and sup­port. With old­er clients, I tend to use more com­mu­ni­ca­tion and some art-based materials. 

For all book­ing enquiries, I ask for a com­plet­ed refer­ral form. Fol­low­ing this, I will car­ry out an ini­tial meet­ing with you and your child or young per­son and then an assess­ment ses­sion with the child/​young per­son alone. This is to ensure that you are get­ting the cor­rect per­son and ser­vice for your cur­rent require­ments. If I am not best suit­ed to your needs, I will always try to find a rep­utable alternative. 

I hold and MA in Psy­cho­dy­nam­ic Coun­selling from The Uni­ver­si­ty of Essex. I am insured and am a mem­ber of the British Asso­ci­a­tion for Coun­selling and Psy­chother­a­py (BACP). (https://​www​.bacp​.co​.uk)”
