“Feeling everything so deeply can be a blessing, and a curse.”
Low cost therapy is a service for highly sensitive empaths who want to heal + transcend childhood emotional neglect.
Clients who work with me have reached a point where they are ready to take responsibility for changing their lives.
They realise that, though the past cannot be rewritten, they no longer need to be limited by outdated beliefs, feelings or patterns.
Through the course of therapy, clients are able to loosen the grip of anxiety, depression or doubt.
They find new ways to stay calm, self soothe + look after themselves.
Self-awareness burns through unconscious patterns that sabotage success.
The tools, strategies + practical steps of therapy are far-reaching and long lasting.
The structure + focus creates a safe container for growth + change.
Our trustful + genuine relationship helps to repair long-standing attachment wounds.
Therapy can provide nutrients for your inner child, so the ‘adult in you’ can take back control.
You may have been considering therapy, but been unsure of whether to make the financial investment + time commitment.
As someone who has worked with various counsellors, healers + therapists over the years,
I understand your concerns.
Yet, my experience is that the ‘Return On Investment’ (ROI) is tangible.
It includes higher self worth, which impacts personal finance positively overall.
I have lived through Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) myself.
So I know how risky it feels to put trust in another, or to share intimate struggles.
The opportunity for change can feel both attractive + nerve-wracking!
Yet, investing in therapy has been one of the best things I’ve ever done.
What to look for in a therapist
When considering a therapist, you should look for sincerity + confidence.
You should also consider their speciality, training + experience.
Your therapist should be open-minded and curious about you (i.e. not directive).
They should hold you with unconditional positive regard – which is where the therapist recognises + champions the good in you, whatever your circumstances, feelings or behaviours.
Your therapist should be well-read and ‘trauma-informed’.
Why I can help YOU
I have been a therapeutic counsellor since 2014.
I specialise in helping Highly Sensitive Empaths from dysfunctional families.
I’ve spent many years healing my own childhood trauma with therapy, energy healing work, self care practices like meditation + writing…
…and research into inner child healing, trauma, attachment styles + relationship dynamics.
What to Expect from Me
As well as all the criteria in the ‘What to Look for…‘ section above,
plus exploration of any issues you bring, expect:
Honesty
Transparency
Tools

How We Work Together
I am qualified in psychodynamic therapeutic counselling.
This means I work like a detective to make links between your present day experience + your past.
Therapy may include us looking at hidden patterns, causes and effects.
My approach is integrative, including transpersonal – a holistic world view including body, mind + spirit.
I encourage regular self-care + may signpost to self-healing resources to use between sessions.
At the outset our working agreement outlines the goals you want to work towards.
Therapy will include regular reviews to track progress.
You have the option to upgrade your package to include access to Monster Slayerz – a transformational online course for highly sensitive adult children from dysfunctional families.

Therapy Client Testimonial
“Working with Amy was an absolute pleasure + I will miss her very much.
I went to Amy with a rather muddled set of issues and the general feeling that I just wanted to be fixed in some way.
I wanted to improve my self confidence / self esteem / self worth, imposter syndrome, lack of boundaries, stress and a long standing eating disorder.
12 months later, I can categorically say I have emerged a different, more empowered person, with a new found strength and resilience.
I feel confident that I now have a new internal toolkit that I can turn to when the s*** hits the fan.
I will no longer be held back by shame or the illusion that I am somehow not good enough.
I’m noticing new changes, developments and evolutions in myself every day.
For years I’ve been at war with myself. Giving myself the hardest time.
Putting myself under so much pressure. Punishing myself for looking or acting a certain way.
Now, I am in my own corner. My own champion. What better outcome could you ask for than that?
If you are unsure about therapy, but your gut is pulling you towards this, listen to it. There’s something inside you waiting to be healed and Amy will help you to heal it.
I’m not saying it will be easy, but you could ask for no better guide, cheerleader or confidante than Amy.”
