About me
Hi, I'm Amy - psychotherapist, counsellor and founder of ABB Therapy. Welcome, I'm so glad you're here!
I’ve always been fascinated by people - their stories, their emotions, and the ways they grew up. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the Arts, but I kept returning to the same questions:
Why do we repeat familiar patterns? Why do some of us struggle to feel “enough”? How does childhood shape who we become?
​
My own therapy changed my life - how I see myself, how I parent, and how I show up in relationships. Growing up too quickly, struggling with self-worth, and learning to be “the strong one” shaped more of me than I realised. And once I began to heal, I knew I wanted to help others do the same.
I now work with adults who want to make sense of their story - especially those who’ve spent years putting others first and are now ready to understand themselves more deeply.
My approach is integrative, blending Person-Centred, Compassion-Focused, Inner Child Work, and creative tools like visualisation and dramatherapy. Clients often describe me as warm, patient, perceptive, and gently challenging. My aim is to offer a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, supported enough to go deeper, and empowered enough to grow.



Training & Experience
I qualified with a Post-Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Roehampton, and also hold an MA, BA(Hons) and my level 2 and 3 in Counselling Skills and Studies from CPCAB. Before I started my private therapy practice, I began my clinical work at a charity supporting women with mental health difficulties, and in a further education college offering counselling to students. I’m a Registered Member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. This means I’m on a Register that has been accredited by the Professional Standards Authority. My membership number is 398302.
