Amanda Wells

Counselling, Psychotherapy & Wellbeing Coach

The experiences we go through in life can feel traumatic, whether it was deliberate (abuse or violence), unintentional or accidental (vehicle accidents or emotionally unavailable caregivers) or natural disasters and whether experienced, witnessed or learned about – ALL can have a profound impact on our body and brain.

Fully healing from complex PTSD and the plethora of symptoms is wholly possible.

I can help you to understand and diminish the physical, psychological and emotional effects of your trauma, explore the relationship you have with yourself and others, dissect the past thoroughly and take the power out of the memories. I have 12 years+ experience as a practitioner and over 24 years worth of practical tools and knowledge from my own CPTSD recovery. Together we can fully emotionally process your memories to help remove limitations and blockages, so that you can move forward and live a life that authentically reflects your deepest desires, values, needs and wants and more importantly, do so with internal peace.

What does therapy involve?

Our work will be thorough and use multiple trauma-focused approaches - no stone will be left unturned. The ground work that we do will build you up and ensure that you're as ready as you can be to go towards the more difficult topics in therapy, without re-traumatisation. The biggest changes, for long lasting growth, happen when you head towards the issues that you want to avoid the most.

Our work together is structured and begins with a full assessment, history, lifeline creation and trauma interviews, diagnostic tools checking levels of depression, anxiety and PTSD. I provide psychoeducation throughout, safety and stabilisation techniques, emotional regulation work and then onto trauma memory processing. Available for use is a cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES), a device proven to reduce anxiety, depression, pain and insomnia. For more details on the treatment processes, please click here.

Facing your past isn't easy but it is worth it. Imagine living life without the symptoms you battle with. We can thoroughly support your healing journey and you can grow, change and end therapy feeling empowered, peaceful and strong.

Testimonials

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

Thanks to all of your care and techniques, I am feeling SO much better and back to my old positive self. What a relief! I can't thank you enough for all of your care and understanding. I was in such a dark horrible place and thanks to you I feel as though my world is bright again. You're a complete and utter star.

M Minker, 54

Amanda helped me see that the feelings of anxiety and depression are a symptom of my thoughts – both conscious and subconscious and ow my brain interprets day-to-day events in auto-pilot. A lot of these thoughts are a load of rubbish.
She also taught me that ‘rewiring’ your brain back to rational, healthy thoughts is simply a matter of embedding new thinking ‘habits’. Like a muscle, it will be weak at first, but with repetition it will start to become stronger and more natural.

Jen, age 45

I was dreading working on my childhood. Amanda eased me in and gave me lots of methods to help me feel in control. Bit by bit we worked on flashbacks that have haunted me for years and slowly they stopped shouting at me, like all they wanted was for me to say them out loud. She helped me to understand the different stages and how my body has reacted all of these years. She made me feel like anything was possible and I definitely wasn't alone. I'm truly grateful for her support - its been life changing.

Cassie D, 34Trauma Recovery Work

An amazing compassionate person who listens intently and helps with your problems with some useful strategies. I highly recommend. She helped me through some dark and difficult times and I’m now here on the other side. I have unfortunately spoken to many therapists in the past and felt an instant connection with Amanda which made the therapy that much easier.
