Empathy in Therapy

Personalised counselling for adults

COMPASSIONATE, ACCEPTING, EMPATHETIC

Therapy tailored for you

Welcome to Empathy in Therapy. I'm Amy, a qualified counsellor offering online counselling and in-person therapy in Taunton and North Petherton, Somerset. I support adults facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, trauma, and emotional overwhelm.

My approach is tailored to each individual and may include talking therapy, exploring past experiences, developing practical coping strategies, and building deeper self-understanding.

I provide a safe, welcoming, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. I have experience supporting survivors of domestic abuse, childhood trauma, and difficult relationships, helping clients rebuild confidence, strengthen boundaries, and move towards a greater sense of safety and self-worth.

I also offer neurodiversity-affirming counselling for autistic and ADHD clients, adapting my approach to suit each person's unique strengths, communication style, and needs. Whoever you are and whatever has brought you to therapy, you will be met with warmth, empathy, and respect.

Why come to counselling?

I believe that the ability to cope with the ups and downs of life can vary throughout our lives. Sometimes our challenges, whatever they might be, can lead us to a dark place that we cannot understand.

Feelings of sadness, loneliness, anger, frustration, shame, overwhelm are just some of the negative emotions that can quietly take hold. When left unaddressed, these feelings can build over time and lead to challenges such as depression, anxiety, addiction, self-harm and changes in behaviour.

Counselling can help with a range of mental health challenges or negative feelings by talking through and unravelling how emotions are held, felt and understood. At Empathy in Therapy, I would work to understand what you’d like to change and how I can enable you to be the person that you aspire to be.
