Where Your Voice is Heard & Valued

Warm, intuitive counsellor offering a space where you feel seen, heard and supported. I work with adults and young people across a wide range of issues.

Meet the Therapist

I’m Amanda, a warm, person-centred counsellor offering a calm, collaborative space where you can feel seen, heard and supported. I work with adults and young people on anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, grief and loss, identity, body image, spiritual concerns, and life transitions.

I have particular experience with bereavement, long-term illness, and the pressures many young people carry. If faith matters to you, I’m happy to integrate it in a way that honours your beliefs.

My approach is integrative and tailored to you. I work systemically and draw on Transactional Analysis, attachment theory, psychodynamic insight, CBT, and IFS-bringing creativity and playfulness when helpful. Together we’ll make sense of the past, attend to the present, and gently create space for change. Clients describe me as intuitive, grounded, and compassionate. Above all, I believe a safe, accepting relationship can foster healing, resilience, and a clearer, more confident path forward.

Songbird Tree

Why Songbird Therapy?

The name Songbird Therapy reflects the power of finding your voice - especially in times of struggle. Just as a songbird sings even in the dark, therapy can be a space to rediscover your voice, your strength, and your sense of self. Whether you're feeling silenced, overwhelmed, or unsure, this is a place where your story matters and where expression, in whatever form it takes, is gently welcomed.
