About The Therapy Place

Hello,
I’m Amy.

I am a CBT and person-centred counsellor, offering a warm, confidential and supportive space for you to talk.

I understand that taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting. My aim is to help you feel at ease from the beginning, so we can explore what has brought you to counselling at a pace that feels right for you.

Amy Skarratts, counsellor at The Therapy Place

A compassionate approach

A space to feel heard, understood and supported.

Therapy is a place for you to speak openly about your experiences, without judgement. I offer a safe, relational environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings in your own time.

Whether you are coping with a difficult life event, feeling overwhelmed, or simply need somebody outside your usual circle to talk to, we can work together towards positive change.

“You do not have to go through difficult times alone.”

How I work

Therapy tailored to you

I draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and person-centred counselling, adapting our work to your individual needs and goals.

Person-Centred Counselling

A gentle, client-led approach that gives you space to understand your emotions, experiences and what matters most to you.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

CBT can help you identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and find practical ways to manage challenges in everyday life.

Who I support

Support through life’s challenges

I work with children, young people, adults, older adults, couples and families.

Confidence & self-esteem

Support with low confidence, self-worth and feeling more comfortable in yourself.

Life changes & loss

Space to process bereavement, break-ups, trauma, pregnancy, parenthood and other major changes.

Relationships & wellbeing

Support for anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship difficulties and feeling unheard.

Professional care

Qualified, experienced and committed to ethical practice.

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work in line with its ethical framework. I attend regular supervision and continued professional development.

I offer a free initial telephone or online consultation. It is a chance to ask questions, discuss what you are looking for, and decide whether we are the right fit.
