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, a warm, person-centred counsellor offering a relaxed, non-judgemental space where you can feel seen, heard and supported. I work with adults and young people on a number of issues, such as 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.

My Approach

My counselling style is highly relational, built on trust, respect, and collaboration. I believe our early experiences shape the way 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 make sense of the past, attend to the present, and gently create space for change. Above all, I believe every person’s story matters, and that a safe, accepting relationship can foster healing, resilience, and a clearer, more confident path forward.

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
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.
