Welcome to Keystone Counselling Beverley.....
My name is Amy, I am a qualified BACP registered person-centred therapist. I believe it is paramount that firstly, you find the right therapist for you, as the basis of therapy is a good working relationship and its important that you feel comfortable with your counsellor.
Let me tell you a little about myself, I am a warm, compassionate person with natural empathy. I value the dignity, trust and welfare of each individual client. I am passionate about counselling and the human experience .
I have previous counselling experience with womens sexual abuse charities working closely with trauma informed cases including pre-trial therapy. Moreover I have a background with counselling clients with depression, anxiety, grief and PTSD. I also have a professional intrest in mens mental health, inner child work and trauma
As I work in a person centered capacity, I am able to work with whatever the client wishes to bring to session. I will not lead you in any way, I believe you are the expert on your life and mind. In my therapy there is no right or wrong, we will work together to find the answers you need.
Dont like the thought of indoor counselling? "A qualitative study explored clients experiences of counselling in a natural outdoor environment. clients overall experiences were positive." (BACP 2023)

This brings an empowerment to clients and the ability to learn how to deal with future difficulties.
