Amy Underwood

I have a limited sessions available starting in August, face-to-face in Kensington, London. 

I also offer online Zoom sessions where I can be more flexible with available times. 

My name is Amy and I am passionate about supporting you with your personal challenges. I am a trained integrative counsellor and psychotherapist. My own healing and recovery of grief and addiction issues enables me to offer you an empathetic environment where you have the opportunity to experience a healthy therapeutic relationship. 

You will experience respect, genuine care, unconditional love and authenticity within the relationship. I believe these are all essential for you to feel accepted and at ease, offering you a safe space where you can express yourself authentically without the fear of judgement or rejection. You will then be able to start your recovery as you look within at your inner world and start your own healing process.

We will work collaboratively and explore what is happening in the here-and-now which will help you to understand the everyday struggles you experience gaining self awareness. It is this self awareness that helps you to take action and make changes in your life. Being supported while working through any pain and discomfort. 

Through building healthy relationships, I have successfully helped clients cope with depression, anxiety, attachment, grief, trauma, addiction, identity issues, ADHD and other emotional troubles. 

Individual therapy is a personal journey focused on your growth and self discovery. Together we explore the depths of your emotions, fostering an environment of self-awareness and empowerment. We collaboratively work towards you becoming the true self you have always wanted to be and look for contentment and peace within.

Everyday survival strategies tend to come from childhood, we can explore these together and learn new healthier coping mechanisms, understanding how you have previously survived from day to day, exploring dysfunctional behaviours and moving towards integration of the disowned and hurt parts of self from the past.

I support you to reconnect with yourself throughout your therapy journey. We access your whole self, learning methods for integration, helping you to experience emotional freedom, recognising future hopes and dreams, learning techniques of how to manage emotions, looking at boundaries, strengths and weaknesses, helping you to live everyday in a place of abundance. 

Therapy supports you so you do not feel alone with your internal pain anymore, however, I recognise that it takes courage to ask for help and it can feel very daunting to do so.

Therefore initially, when you contact me I will offer a free 10 minute telephone consultation to discuss your expectations of therapy.

Your first session will be 1 hour and in this session we will start by working though a short assessment together, or this can be completed beforehand via email. Once completed, you can discuss with me what you would like to work on in therapy, if you have any fears or worries we will explore them, and look at goals and wishes for your therapeutic journey.
