How sessions work
Unhurried, confidential, and yours.

A first conversation
A free 15-minute call to see if we’re a good fit. No commitment.
- 02
A regular hour
50 minutes, weekly at first, then spaced out as your confidence grows. We work together.
- 03
A review, not a drift
Therapy is a process, and the work between sessions matters. We review progress together.
In their words
“After my marriage ended I felt unrecognisable. Amanda didn’t rush me toward moving on. She helped me find a way to stand in my own life again.”
“I came for burnout and stayed because I finally had somewhere to say the unsayable about turning fifty and not knowing who I was for.”
“Redundancy hit harder than I expected. I thought I needed a new job. I needed to grieve the old one first.”
