Guiding You Through Every Step of your journey

I’m Amanda Swan, an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor with over 25 years’ experience supporting people in mental health and emotionally supportive roles. I provide a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can explore life’s challenges safely and at your own pace.

Choosing the right therapist can feel daunting. My aim is to help you feel heard, understood and supported, tailoring therapy to your individual needs using an integrative approach that draws on a range of evidence-informed therapeutic models.

I work with adults experiencing a wide range of difficulties, with particular interests in trauma, including PTSD and complex PTSD, bereavement, anxiety, panic and neurodiversity, including ADHD and autism. As a neurodivergent therapist, I value creating an inclusive and collaborative therapeutic relationship.

My qualifications include a BSc (Hons) Psychology, an MA Criminology, an Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, and training in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Hypnobirthing. I am a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society, an accredited registrant of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), hold an Enhanced DBS certificate, and am registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

Alongside individual counselling, I offer clinical hypnotherapy, hypnobirthing, creative therapeutic groups and consultancy. Sessions are available face to face in Chartham and Thanington, near Canterbury, as well as online, by telephone, text and email. I also accept Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) referrals.

If you’re considering therapy, I offer a free, no-obligation introductory call so we can discuss your needs and see whether we’re a good fit to work together.
