Amy Crook

My name is Amy and I am a qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist and a registered member of the Â鶹ԭ´´ (MÂ鶹ԭ´´) and offer support to a high standard to individuals who seek help with their mental health difficulties. Here is a introduction into some of the work I do to help you decide if I am the right person to support you, I understand therapy is a personal journey and I aim to tailor the sessions around the needs of each individual that I support, As an integrative counsellor I have helped individual's heal from past traumas and set positive goals for their future by combining ideas and techniques that are pulled out from various counselling approaches to help make therapy more tailored to the client as I believe we are all unique and therapy is not a one shoe fits all, I understand that everyone's journey is different and can often be painful for some to talk about their experiences and although it is not always what we want to do however talking to a professional who offers empathy, patience and honesty is sometimes what we need to help heal. I provide all clients a non-judgmental safe space in person, online and telephone appointments to explore and reflect on their issues and encourage personal growth.

Your first session will start with having a discussion on your needs, what support you require, contracting which includes confidentiality, Data Protection and GDPR and a general open conversation to see if i am the right person to support you.

I have availability both in person and online, i work monday to friday and cover evenings to be as flexible as possible.

I provide a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space to explore a wide range of personal challenges. I work with a wide range of issues by using a Person-Centered philosophical model as a core while introducing interventions from other methods used in Counselling such as Solution focused Therapy, CBT, Emotional Freedom Therapy (EFT), Transactional analysis, Grounding techniques and wellbeing to help people reach desirable outcomes.

I am a great believer that constructive counselling can assist individuals to overcome their struggles with a friendly, patient and supportive therapist, I also realise we are all unique and have varied outlooks on life which requires therapy to be tailored to each individuals requirements.

I meet with people on a weekly basis either face to face or remote  to guide them through their journey to deeper understand their struggles and find positive ways to overcome them.

The first session is free as i will complete and assesment with you to see what you are seeking from counselling and a warm introduction to how we will work together and it is usually done over the phone and will last around 30 minutes.
