Hi, I’m Amy.
Before training as a therapist, I spent 20 years as an actress and producer. I’ve always been fascinated by people’s stories – character analysis – the hows and the whys which create behaviours and habits.
Combining my acting and therapeutic work, I work with my clients using the past to inform the future and untie the knots which are creating feelings of ‘stuckness’ and behaviours which are not serving them.
I use an integrative approach, meaning I have a toolbox which ranges from a traditional psychodynamic therapy, looking at methods of communication (Transactional Analysis) to a more holistic mind-body connection outlook (Gestalt).
I also use movement and embodiment in my sessions with some of my clients (yes! even online!). Getting into our bodies, using breath work and guided visualizations to reconnect to our physical selves as well as parts of us we’ve hidden, can be an impactful and powerful way to support a client’s journey.
As both an actress as well as a therapist, I have a unique understanding of the pressures of being a creative in today’s world. The majority of my clients are female creatives and entrepreneurs looking for someone who can hold space for their processes, and help navigate towards a new way of being.
