My experience and qualifications

About me

I’ve worked in several different areas before going into Private Practice, including a large mental health association for 12 years, a hospice, a sexual abuse centre and a busy research clinic at the Strathclyde University. My focus now is running a private practice, specialising in individual, couples, and sex therapy. I am also the in-house expert for Mojo, a sexual well-being app for erectile dysfunction.

I tailor my approach for each client, drawing on various therapeutic models including client centred, emotion-focused, attachment based, psychodynamic, CBT, compassion focused and Mindfulness. I'm also a qualified Yoga teacher, bringing my knowledge of the importance of body, breath, relaxation and interoception to my clients.

I am passionate about my work and am here to support you in exploring the challenges you are facing at the moment and finding ways to make positive changes.

Client testimonials

"Working with Amanda has been a source of tremendous healing and comfort. She offers a compassionate ear, constructive feedback and deep insight that led to breaking new ground in my journey. Her ability to create a safe environment is testament to her patience and understanding and I would not have made the progress I have without her."

Sex therapy client

2022

Amanda has been very easy to talk to about subjects which I would otherwise have found quite difficult to be open about. She has helped me tremendously with issues around erectile dysfunction, but also more broadly with matters to do with difficulties in interpersonal relationships. I'm very glad I found someone both professional and approachable, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in a similar position to me.

“Deciding to go for counselling was the best decision I could have made. Amanda was great, she made me feel so at ease, I was able to spend time working out what I needed to do to finally make some good choices”

Individual therapy client

"Amanda was a great listener and was able to provide insight and guidance in a way that was respectful and non-judgmental. She helped us identify the root causes of our conflicts and gave us tools to work through them in a healthy and constructive way."

I now work in a ‘blended’ way – face to face and Zoom. This means that if we start working together, some of the sessions will be in person and some on-line, (when I am away from Fife).

I am very lucky to have a therapy room, looking out to sea. It is on Main Street, Lower Largo, in the East Neuk of Fife. It has a step free access, (although sadly not wheel chair accessible) and has private parking. There is a bus stop across the road.
