Amanda Royle

I am an experienced Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist working from my private practice in West End, Esher where I offer long or short term work, face to face or online sessions. 

I understand taking that first step into therapy can feel daunting  but my warm, down to earth approach, and peaceful garden setting, aims to rapidly put you at ease and allow for a collaborative and supportive exploration of your situation. 

I have extensive experience working with bereavement and loss of various forms, anxiety, depression, anger, demotivation, identity issues, relationship difficulties, physical symptoms, PTSD and trauma.

I undertake regular Continued Personal Development and supervision to maintain a good standard of practice and work in accordance with the BACP’s ethical framework that priorities commitment to confidentiality and respect of my clients’ diverse individual needs.

I work in ways that recognise our mind-body relationship. Working holistically helps address historic patterns and encourages deeper levels of healing. 

I draw from a variety of models with my core approaches being Psychodynamic, Person Centred and Existential.  I also draw, where appropriate, from a range of  psycho-biological models, including Somatic Experiencing, Polyvagal Theory, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Neuroscience, Attachment EMDR and Mindfulness-based therapies.

Our first session offers the opportunity to give an overview of your situation and how you are experiencing it in the context of your life, work and relationships. 

We also get a sense of how it feels between us, how we might work together and whether we feel like a good match for each other. 

I aim to briefly outline possible ways of working together and welcome questions and preferences for particular approaches.
