Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s natural to wonder what to expect.
Therapy offers a confidential, supportive environment where you can talk openly about whatever is troubling you, at a pace that feels right for you.
My approach is integrative, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), person-centred therapy, and psychodynamic therapy, depending on your needs.
CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, helping you to identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical tools to manage challenges such as anxiety, low mood, or stress.
Person-centred therapy places you at the heart of the process, offering a warm, non-judgemental relationship where you are accepted as you are, supporting self-understanding, confidence, and personal growth.
Psychodynamic therapy looks more deeply at how past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns may be influencing how you feel or relate to others in the present, helping to create lasting insight and change.
Together, we will explore what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain, working collaboratively to support greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and meaningful change in your life.
This can be done online, in-person (Bradford Area), by telephone or walk and talks.
“I’ve had four sessions with Amy and she’s been easy to talk to from the start. She’s open, honest, relatable and friendly, which made it easier for me to open up. I feel supported and understood.”
“Over the years I have tried different types of support, however things would help in the moment but not for the long run. Since starting with Amy, I have seen an actual difference in myself. Amy picks up on things I say and words I use and gets me to think about the meaning. I am so glad I started with Amy and look forward to seeing how much I can develop and grow, with her support.”
“I have been attending now for 6 months with Amy. My life has changed for the better!! She is attentive, knowledgeable and offers a therapeutic service. I cannot thank her enough for turning my life around.”
“Having had numerous sessions with Amy, she is kind, empathetic and non-judgemental. Having never been to therapy before, I didn’t know what to expect. Amy made me feel welcome and created a safe space for me to discuss my issues. I would highly recommend speaking to Amy.”
