About me

I’m Aimee, an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor based near Woking. I obtained my counselling qualification from Middlesex University (studied locally at Guildford College), a Foundation Degree accredited by the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). I am also a registered member of the BACP.

How I work

My approach combines proven therapeutic frameworks (like understanding how your past shapes your present) with real-world understanding. No mystical therapy speak, no nodding silently while you do all the work – just genuine conversations about what's really going on and how to create lasting change.

​

I specialise in working with women who've been through some tough shit and are ready to understand their patterns and create different outcomes. Using the relationship we build together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck and build new ways forward.

What you won't get:

  • Vague advice

  • Conversations on "finding your inner peace"

  • Someone pretending they have all the answers

  • Blank stares and meaningless mmm-hmms

What you will get:

  • Genuine curiosity about your experiences

  • Clear insights about patterns and behaviours

  • A therapist who shows up as a real human

  • Someone to sit alongside you as you make real change

Why I work with trauma

I’ve always been drawn to understanding how life’s challenges shape who we are. Over the years, I’ve seen how trauma leaves people feeling stuck, isolated, or disconnected from themselves. My journey into trauma-focused therapy began when I realised how powerful it is to create a space where someone can feel truly heard and begin to heal.

 

Therapy is more than a job for me—it’s a privilege to walk alongside you as you find your strength, clarity, and self-worth again.
