Amanda Williams

Hello, my name is Amanda. My practice in Newbury provides a safe space to explore difficult thoughts and feelings that can, at times, feel overwhelming.

It can be helpful to work through feelings in a confidential, and supportive therapeutic relationship. Being alongside someone as we explore our thoughts and feelings, we can get a deeper understanding of ourselves.

What can I offer you?

I am a fully qualified integrative counsellor working with adults.

I work in a client-centric way, believing that you are the expert in yourself. I encourage collaborative exploration and offer gentle observations to aid the therapeutic process.

I am an advocate of the therapeutic relationship being at the heart of a successful counselling experience, where acceptance and compassion is encouraged and given.

I offer a calm, safe, relaxed, non-judgmental and empathetic space for honest dialogue.

I am a person-centred and psychodynamic therapist which means you are at the heart of our time together. The sessions are led by you and we will work at a pace that suits you. My approach is not to offer advice, but to be with you, and trust in your own ability to resolve your difficulties with the help and support of our counselling relationship.

I currently work with clients suffering with :

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Stress

• PTSD

• Trauma

• Low self-esteem

• Relationship issues

• Domestic/sexual abuse

• Emotional/narcissistic abuse

I offer a variety of ways to experience counselling:

* Face to Face - in Newbury town centre.

* Online – Using Zoom ™ we can hold our session online, from a place where you can feel safe and be confidential.

* Phone - we can hold our session by phone, from a safe and confidential space.

* Walk and Talk – We can take our counselling sessions outside on risk assessed walks.

* Home Visits

Get in touch...

Feel free to contact me to book a free consultation call. We can discuss the reasons you're considering counselling and see if I am the right therapist to help. If we agree to go ahead, we can arrange your first session.

Sessions...

50 minute sessions are initially held weekly at an agreed day and time.

I hold regular reviews and maintain a flexible way of working to ensure my support works for you.

If you are looking for walking therapy or visits to your home we will work on a plan that is suitable for both of us.
