Working alongside individuals to develop and enhance self-compassion, healing through integration of the past and present, alongside working towards expanding their 'Window of Tolerance' are key practices within Amy’s therapeutic approach. Whilst Amy holds vast experience in supporting a wide range of mental health presentations, Amy holds a particular passion for supporting people who have experienced trauma or are living with an eating disorder/disordered eating.
