You're not the problem.
But something in you keeps acting like you are.
Holistic counselling for anxiety, overthinking and the relationship patterns you can’t seem to break.
Most people who find their way to me aren’t in crisis.
They’re doing everything right on paper – good relationships, real careers, genuine futures they care about. But underneath all of that is a version of the same exhaustion. The overthinking that won’t switch off. The anxiety that spikes before difficult conversations. The fear of getting it wrong in the relationship that matters most. The gap between how capable they look and how tangled they feel on the inside.
And it’s not just at home. It follows them to work too – the email rewritten four times before sending. The feedback that lands like a personal verdict on who they are. The meeting they spend the next hour replaying. The constant low-level hum of trying to get it right, everywhere, all the time.
They’ve tried to figure it out. They’ve read the books, know their attachment style, and have spent more hours than they’d like to admit on Instagram accounts that promise nervous system healing in five steps. They’ve journalled through it more times than they can count. They’ve meditated. They’ve done the podcasts. They can explain exactly what they’re doing and why… and they’re still doing it.
That’s not a knowledge problem. That’s what happens when the patterns live in the body not the head.
Whether you’re the one who overthinks and over-gives, or the one who shuts down and can’t find the words, this work is for you.
“Working with Amy allowed me to really open and stand in my vulnerability.
I discovered that I knew intellectually what was going on, but I wasn’t validating my own feelings. Amy supported my with feeling my emotions without guilt or shame.
I was able to acknowledge my own feelings and realise that I only needed my own permission. I loved talking to Amy and felt receptive and open quickly which is extremely rare. Thank you for making me feel welcome and heard.”

I’m Amy!
I work mostly with people in their twenties and thirties – people who are self-aware enough to know what they’re doing, and honest enough to admit they can’t seem to stop.
Most of what’s out there gives you information. A framework. A five-step process. Something to understand, practise, implement. And for a while it feels like progress until the next hard conversation, and you’re right back where you started.
What I offer is different. Not because I have better information, but because change doesn’t actually happen through information. It happens through experience. Through having someone sit with you in the hard stuff, consistently, over time. Someone who isn’t overwhelmed by your depth or messiness or imperfections, who can see the pattern you’re in while you’re still inside it, and who can help you feel something different rather than just think something different.
That’s what shifts things. Not the insight alone. It’s what happens when the insight finally lands somewhere in your body.
“Working with Amy has allowed me to recognise feelings and parts of myself that I have masked for many years.
The way she has allowed for silence, processing and tears has made me feel like I was in an incredibly, safe environment. Allowing emotions to flow through me and the fact that that is okay to do, has allowed me to feel lighter and more clear.
The unpacking and acceptance of the trauma I have experienced through my life, has allowed me to accept parts of myself I didn’t think I could.
It’s an incredible feeling to feel full and not locked into my emotional past. This is my time, my body, my life. Thank you.”

Here’s what working together actually looks like.
We start with a free 15-minute conversation so you can hear my voice, get a feel for whether this is right, and ask whatever you need to ask.
After that, we meet weekly or fortnightly either in person at my practice in Sandgate, or online. We go at your pace and you bring whatever’s most present. We work with that.
The changes don’t come all at once. But people usually notice something shifting within the first few sessions.
It’s not a dramatic transformation but subtle shifts over time. Something happens that would normally derail you and this time it doesn’t. A conversation that goes differently to how it usually goes. A moment where you catch yourself and think, that’s new.
I really appreciated Amy’s ability and capacity to see all part of me. I felt truly held and safe during our session. Her softness and gentleness really helped me feel nurtured as I opened up and shared what wanted to be shared.”

You don’t have to have it all figured out before you reach out. Most people don’t.
The first step is just a 15-minute complimentary conversation to give us a chance to talk and see if this feels right.
And if you’re not quite there yet, that’s okay too. The free resources are a good place to start.
