Amanda Turner

Hello and thank you for looking at my profile.  I understand how hard it can be to chose the right counsellor.  I offer my clients an understanding person-centred approach that is non-judgmental and honest/friendly. The focus of my counselling is decided by the client, who can discuss what might help. I encourage the client to lead the session as I believe that it is the client’s journey since they are experts about their own lives. This allows me to be in the client’s world, supporting them emotionally along their journey to recovery.

I facilitate the process by supporting the client to look at their life journey and help them clarify what they think and how they feel it. My results have shown this process is effective for a wide range of problems and issues. I talk about things they wish in a context that is supportive and facilitative.

Most clients come to me with some form of a loss. This could be in the form of low mood, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, transitions in life, addictions, sexuality and anger issues among others.

 I am open minded, approachable, friendly, understanding, and a caring person. I myself have experience some of life’s traumas. I know what it is like to want to talk to someone about how you really feel inside but you don’t because you don’t want people to gossip or be upset for you. Everyone needs a release their emotions at some point in their life. This is a safe non-judgmental environment for you to do that.

I have a private clinic for face-to-face consultations.  I offer this confidential counselling service from a quiet and private counselling room with free off road parking. I also offer more bespoke walking and talking therapy if you feel more relaxed in an outdoor space.

Counselling can also be via a phone call, on Skype or Zoom.  These options will be discussed during our initial telephone appointment.  During this appointment we will also discuss outcomes and amount of sessions that may be needed you to achieve personnel growth.

Please feel free to contact me either by telephone, email or text. If I cannot take your call then please leave a message and I will respond to you within 24 hours.

I offer an initial 30 minute session free of charge.  During this time we will do an initial assessment of what brought you to counselling.  I will also explain how the counselling sessions work and how our working relationship is so important for trust to be built and for you to feel comfortable and safe.

We will then agree suitable times and place for our counselling sessions to take place.
