Amy Fitzwater

I am available in person on a Monday and have flexible hours from morning until late evening. I offer a comfortable and confidential room near the heart of Shepperton. 

I am flexible and have availability Via Zoom throughout the week. Contact me for more information.

If you'd like to see if we're a good fit, I offer a free, no-obligation, fifteen-minute introductory phone call before our first meeting.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my profile, reaching out can be difficult but it is the first step. I am here to help you through your journey so that you can lead the life that you are seeking and deserve.

Counselling can be an opportunity to focus on yourself and bring change to your current situation. Therapy is a leap of faith that can result in growth and self-awareness. Times can be very difficult and navigating yourself in this can be the biggest challenge of all but together we can bring "You" into focus to work on what may be causing the difficulties in your life. 

Change can be a challenging and daunting prospect, but therapy can help you understand how you got here. I work in a way that allows us to explore the initial issues and find further understanding of what is causing these under the surface. My aim is to help you create a sense of self that can support you in whichever direction you wish to take at this time and in the future, whilst promoting self-compassion and self-care. This is your time and I will go at your speed. My highest priority is providing you the opportunity to feel safe, be seen and feel heard.

I understand unpacking your emotions can feel heavy and the idea of doing this can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to face this alone. I will work alongside you in our sessions and support you during this process. As well as this I offer techniques to help support you in-between our sessions.  

I offer a warm and empathetic approach, I work genuinely and authentically, offering a compassionate and trusting ear. 

I am an Integrative-Relational Counsellor which means I use various therapeutic approaches and will work in a way that is best suited to your individual needs. Being a relational therapist, the relationship between therapist and client is key to the success of the work.

In my practice, I work to create an understanding of your own experience. Drawing from a range of approaches such as Person-centred, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Gestalt, Existential and more.  

I have experience working one-on-one with adults, with a range of difficulties and life experiences, such as PTSD, Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, self-harm, relationship difficulties, family issues, sexuality and more.  

I am a member of the Â鶹ԭ´´ and abide by their ethical framework. I have regular supervision and I am committed to continuing professional development. 

In our initial session we will discuss the concerns that brought you to counselling, your goals, and the best way for us to work together. 

During this time you will have the opportunity to get an idea of how we will work together. Picking the right therapist is the first step to a healthy therapeutic relationship and a step in the right direction for growth.
