Where Your Voice is Heard & Valued

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

Meet the Therapist

I’m Amanda, an experienced person-centred counsellor offering a relaxed, non-judgemental space where you can feel safe to bring all of who you are. Counselling offers time to pause, reflect, and make sense of what’s been happening.

Reaching out for support takes real courage, and I’m so glad you’ve taken this step. I offer a calm, accepting space where we can explore your story, deepen your self-awareness, and begin to work through life’s challenges together. I’m committed to walking alongside you with care and compassion, helping you find clarity and a way forward that feels right for you.

My Approach

My counselling style is relational and collaborative, built on trust, respect, and authenticity. I believe our formative experiences shape how we think, feel, and behave, and that challenges often arise from a blend of past experiences, present pressures, and future worries.

I work in a way that feels manageable and meaningful, at a pace that suits you. Together, we’ll explore your journey and the patterns that shape your life, gently opening space for self-discovery, growth, and change. I believe every person’s story matters, and that a safe, accepting relationship can nurture healing, resilience and confidence to support you along the road ahead.

As a person-centred integrative therapist, I adapt my approach to every individual, tailoring the work to their needs and personality. I draw on a range of therapeutic techniques including:

  • Person-Centred Therapy
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Psychodynamic Therapy
  • Systemic Therapy
  • Solution-Focused Therapy

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.
