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)”
