Amanda originally graduated from De Montfort University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology of Human Communication and French. She has since qualified as a hypnotherapist (Cert Hyp CS) and is able to offer a variety of treatments, in particular for anxiety and chronic pain.

Amanda takes a “working together” approach in her sessions and considers hypnotherapy to be one of the most empowering therapies there is. She says “I lay the groundwork to enable the client to make the changes they require, opposed to making the change happen myself. Ultimately the only person who can change their perspective and make things happen is the individual themselves. The more open the individual is to the possibilities hypnotherapy can offer; the more hypnotherapy can offer the individual.”

Amanda has since also qualified as a Counsellor as well.  Amanda uses person-centred as her baseline and then draws on Psychodynamic, CBT and Gestalt approaches for example depending on what’s useful/appropriate and how the sessions progress.
