How I Work — Integrative Talk Therapy

Warm, relational counselling for trauma healing and personal growth

Alongside EMDR and Brainspotting, I also offer integrative talk therapy — a gentle, relational space to explore your experiences, emotions, and patterns of relating.

Our work together may include parts-informed exploration, somatic awareness, or trauma-sensitive methods such as Rewind, Flash, and Four Blinks, depending on what feels most supportive for you.

This approach can help whether you’re healing from trauma or working on personal growth, self-understanding, and building trust in yourself and others.

Each session is guided by care, curiosity, and what your system most needs in the moment.

A Gentle, Integrative Approach

Most people I work with come because something inside feels stuck — patterns that keep repeating, emotions that feel too heavy or too far away, or a sense of not knowing who they are beneath the coping.

My role is to help bring gentle light to those places, at a pace that feels safe.

I offer an integrative approach to therapy, combining traditional talk therapy with evidence-based trauma methods such as EMDR, Rewind, Flash, and Four Blinks.

Each of these tools helps your mind and body release what’s been held, allowing space for calm, clarity, and new understanding.

My work is parts-informed — meaning we explore the different parts of you that hold feelings, protect you, or carry old stories. Together, we learn to listen to them with compassion instead of fear.

This opens the door to personal growth, self-trust, and deeper connection with others.

Sometimes we’ll simply talk; other times we’ll pause, notice sensations in the body, or use gentle techniques to help a memory or emotion soften.

Every step is collaborative — you decide the pace, and I’ll guide with care and presence.

“Healing isn’t about fixing who you are — it’s about remembering you were never broken.”

Therapy with Me Can Help You To:

Gently notice and shift repeating patterns

Understand and release old beliefs that block healing

Build safety and trust within yourself

Reconnect with your emotions and body

Grow beyond survival into connection and self-expression

I see this work as a partnership in healing — a process of learning what serves you best.

My intention is always to be of service to your journey, meeting each part of you with presence, patience, and care.

Mindfulness with Amanda

“The goal of meditation isn’t to control your thoughts, it’s to stop letting them control you.”

Life can feel overwhelming, and self-care often slips to the bottom of the list. Mindfulness offers a way to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself.

Programs

I offer one-to-one mindfulness and meditation programs tailored to your needs.

Sessions are online, flexible, and include guided practices and recordings to support you between sessions.

Approach

As a qualified therapist and certified mindfulness coach, I provide a safe, trauma-sensitive space to help you reduce stress, ease anxiety, and cultivate calm, compassion, and presence.

“Inner peace comes when you relax your body, quiet your mind, and open your heart.”
