About Amanda Tilbury Psychotherapy and Counselling
I am an experienced psychotherapist with a lifelong commitment to helping people through the difficulties they face. Following a career as an NHS Nurse, I worked in a bereavement service supporting individuals through their experiences of loss, gained a Masters Degree in Integrative Psychotherapy and have worked in several counselling services as well as in private practice.
My Approach
I trained in Integrative Psychotherapy which means I draw on a number of different theories and concepts in my work. For you, this means you get access to the right approach for you at the right moment. My experience has reinforced the well know saying that "some things work for some people, some of the time" and so sessions are tailored to your specific needs and requirements.
I consider you as a whole, incorporating and working with body, mind, feelings and spiritual expression. I endeavour to encourage and support your capacity for realising your own potential and expression of your unique creative qualities.
Psychotherapy or Counselling
In practice Counselling and Psychotherapy overlap, both address a wide variety of personal issues and provide support through difficult life experiences.
Counselling tends to be shorter in duration focusing on a specific life problem while Psychotherapy can deal with more complex personal issues, exploring in greater depth and looking at life patterns and past experiences that might be adversely affecting life in the present.
How Psychotherapy and Counselling Can Help You
Psychotherapy and Counselling provide a safe and confidential space in which you can address issues in a supportive and understanding environment.
It can help you to make sense of thoughts and feelings that may be causing you difficulty, enabling you to feel more in control of your life.
You can explore and work through unresolved past experiences allowing you a greater sense of freedom in the present and increased hope and optimism for the future.
You can gain greater awareness, insight and understanding of yourself, your life situations and your personal relationships, promoting the development of new perspectives and alternative ways of thinking.
