Client Stories
Real experiences from people who found their path to wellness
"Amanda is very professional but also puts you at ease instantly. I never felt embarrassed or scared to tell Amanda things that I had previously found embarrassing. Amanda provided me with practical solutions to help with things and to change my mind set where I had previously gotten stuck and I felt there was no way out. Amanda helped me overcome complicated relationships issues and also work issues such as PTSD. I feel now with the methods Amanda has taught me I could deal with whatever I am faced with a lot better than before and I now have much healthier coping mechanisms. All I can say is a huge thank you to Amanda"
Client Review, 2022"Amanda has a very calm and gentle demeanour which is soothing and puts you at ease from the start. I consider my treatment to be a huge success and cannot recommend Amanda highly enough. The memories still make me feel disturbed and sad but are no longer disabling and I have had no more dissociative episodes."
Client Review, 2022"Seeing Amanda is one of the most important and effective things I've done for myself and truly was a lifetime investment, I now have skills I can take away and apply to all sorts of scenarios in my life. I will forever be grateful to her and the EMDR therapy that she was able to provide me"
Client Review, 2023"Amanda is warm, funny and incredibly kind. With her help, I have managed to unravel complex trauma using EMDR. It is the best investment I have ever made in myself and I know that the rest of my life will be better for it. I thought coming back to myself was out of reach, but with Amanda's combination of CFT and EMDR I have not only found parts of myself I thought were lost but have also embraced who I am today as a result of what I have experienced. Thank you Amanda for the gift of me, I will be eternally grateful"
