Psychodynamic Therapy in Bishop’s Stortford and Online
Welcome to Amelia Counselling
Understanding yourself better can be the start of real change
Welcome to Amelia Counselling
I’m Amelia, a BACP accredited psychodynamic counsellor and I’m here to help you explore those deep rooted feelings and struggles that are holding you back. I work with individual adults and couples from my practice in Bishop’s Stortford or online if you live further afield or want something more convenient. I can help with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief and loss, trauma, abuse, and family relationship challenges.
Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or feeling stuck in a way you can’t quite explain? Perhaps you’ve experienced a loss that lingers, or you know something isn’t quite right but can’t put your finger on it. It’s easy to carry on as if nothing is wrong, but you don’t have to do this alone. Reaching out can be the first step toward understanding yourself more deeply and finding a way forward.
I also offer couples counselling to help explore obstacles, reconnect with your partner and find ways to move forward, either together or apart.
Individual Counselling
Life can feel overwhelming, and it’s not always clear why. You might be struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, or a sense that something isn’t quite right. Psychodynamic counselling helps uncover what’s beneath the surface—getting to the root of the problem.
Together, we’ll explore the deeper patterns shaping your thoughts and emotions. My role is to support you in gaining clarity and confidence so you can move forward.
Couples Counselling
Relationships change, and sometimes those changes feel difficult. Whether you’re struggling with communication, feeling disconnected, or managing challenges like neurodiversity or separation, couples counselling provides a space to explore what’s really going on.
It’s not just for couples in crisis. Therapy can help you reconnect, understand each other better, and find a way forward together. Our work focuses on the relationship—what’s working, what isn’t, and how to make meaningful changes.
It may be that you have decided it is time to separate, and we can explore what that will look like, perhaps discuss and resolve issues around parenting, or consider what challenges life apart might bring.
How Counselling Can Help You
Counselling provides a dedicated space to explore what’s going on beneath the surface. It’s not about finding quick solutions, but about understanding the deeper patterns and emotions that may be shaping your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
As a psychodynamic counsellor, I help you uncover the root of your struggles, whether that’s anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, or difficulties in relationships. Through our sessions, we explore how past experiences might be influencing your present, giving you greater awareness and helping you make sense of what feels overwhelming or confusing.
The process is collaborative. My role isn’t to tell you what to do but to guide and support you as you explore your emotions in a safe and confidential setting. I believe you have the answers within you, and my role will be to hear you; I might interpret, or try and make sense of it, and this understanding can then be passed back to you in a way that feels safe. Over time, this understanding can help you break free from unhelpful patterns, gain new perspectives, and feel more at ease within yourself. Whether you’re looking for short-term support or deeper therapeutic work, I tailor my approach to your needs.
Finding the right therapist is important.
If you’d like to see if we’re a good fit, I offer a free consultation where we can discuss what’s bringing you to therapy and how we might work together.
