About Us
Amend Therapy Practice
Amend Therapy Practice is a trusted counselling and therapy service dedicated to supporting emotional wellbeing, healthier relationships, and personal growth through compassionate and professional care.
Since joining Relate as a Volunteer Counsellor in 1991, I have gained over 12,000 hours of counselling experience working with couples, individuals, and young people. Over the years, I have continued to develop my qualifications, counselling skills, and therapeutic knowledge while maintaining the same passion and commitment to helping others.
My five years online experience enabled me to not only continue in my own practice during covid, but to deliver training to organisations and other counsellors to equip them to work with clients where face to face was not an option.
Over recent years I have been able to move the service I deliver to solely online via Zoom (or other online forums where necessary).
The aim of every session is to provide a safe, confidential, and supportive space where clients feel comfortable exploring challenges, emotions, and personal difficulties without judgement.

Yes, online counselling can be highly effective for many people. It offers the same professional support and therapeutic guidance as face-to-face counselling while providing greater flexibility and convenience.
Online counselling can support a wide range of emotional and personal difficulties including anxiety, depression, stress, bereavement, relationship issues, workplace stress, low self-esteem, emotional trauma, and life changes.
Counselling is generally confidential, meaning what you share with your therapist is private, with only limited exceptions for safety or legal reasons.
These exceptions include but are not exhaustive:
- If there is a reason to believe there is a safeguarding concern for a vulnerable child or adult.
- If there is reason to suspect serious criminality.
- If there is reason to suspect serious intent to self-harm.
