PSYCHE - CRAFTED CONVERSTIONS
“I was recommended to Amanda through a friend - my initial reaction when hearing about her was that she sounded like the kind of person I needed to speak to, I wasn’t wrong. From the outset I felt our sessions were a relaxed, open, secure place where I could bring anything I wanted to discuss. I was put at ease to bring up and work with all aspects of my life I have struggled with. Knowing I wasn’t the only person battling with dyslexia, and indeed the individual problems I was experiencing, was reassuring and it made these problems easier to deal with almost instantly. Working with Amanda opened me up to approaching difficulties in new, original ways as well as bringing flexibility to my thinking as to the learning that was emerging in one area of life correlated to other areas, such as from my workplace to my personal life. Through our work we explored physical real world alternatives to things I had always done and struggled with. A key insight I gained through working with Amanda was how important the physical, tactile world is for me - I’ve worked for many years with a computer but with Amanda I explored off - line , analogue alternatives and it has proved a big step for me. Taking my work off the computer and onto paper has helped me immeasurable especially in creative tasks as well as gain confidence in my own way of processing previously overwhelming life decisions. People often ask me what I do in my sessions with Amanda - whether she’s a teacher, a therapist, a learning support specialist or a life coach. I often say she’s so much more than any of them - she has helped me bring focus to my life and calmness to how I tackle all aspects of it. I just wish I’d had the opportunity to work with her before now. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a compassionate, out of the box thinker who is able to attune to whatever you feel at odds within your immediate environment”
