About me

I’m Amy, an Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor based in Bristol. I’m passionate about supporting people on their journey to know themselves more fully, in ways that can bring about meaningful and lasting change.

My path into this work began over 15 years ago through the practice of yoga. This ancient wisdom opened my eyes to the profound connection between mind and body, and became the catalyst for my own journey of healing. I’m deeply engaged in my own psycho-spiritual development: it is an ongoing process that continues to inform my work with clients and my understanding of the often messy, complex nature of being human.

I believe that therapy should be grounded, collaborative, and sometimes even playful; a space where you can feel safe and curious to explore all parts of yourself.
