My name is Amandeep and I am a Registered Mental Health Nurse and a qualified EMDR therapist with over 20 years experience working within the NHS.

I work with adults and children and young people.

As a qualified psychotherapist with many years as a mental health nurse, I take a holistic approach and use a variety of techniques that I tailor to suit you. My aim is to help you feel empowered and enable you to become the best version of yourself. This empowerment will help allow you to let go of destructive patterns, behaviours and habits. I will personalise and adapt my services to you and your unique personality. I offer a space that is non-judgemental leaving you free to express your emotions.

Following many years working with people, I am completely fascinated by how the mind and body create physical symptoms and emotional responses. As well as more traditional therapeutic techniques such as counselling, I am trained in more modern theories of addressing mental health problems like EMDR therapy as well as alternative approaches self-healing is a concept very close to my heart and has led me to develop my skills and knowledge of holistic therapies and become qualified as a Reiki Practitioner.
