ABOUT AMANDA
Someone who understands both anxiety and the pressures of working life.
My experience spans approximately 20 years across NHS, corporate and private practice settings, including senior clinical leadership roles. That background helps me understand how responsibility, workplace demands and personal expectations can become tangled together.
My approach is friendly, practical and collaborative. We’ll explore patterns with curiosity, agree manageable steps and make space to discuss anything that feels difficult. You do not need to arrive with everything worked out.
