Training and Clinical Experience:
Amanda holds a Bachelor in Psychological Sciences and a Masters in Social Science (Professional Counselling). She obtained her license as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and has completed foundational training in both NeuroAffective Touch and Trauma Sensitive Yoga.
With over a decade of clinical experience, Amanda has worked with individuals, children, couples, and families at Family Service Centres and private practice. She has worked with her clients on various issues such as families experiencing domestic violence, couples who are going through extra-marital and communication issues, and individuals with mental health issues.
Amanda recognises that trauma is both interpersonal and systemic, and that quality care requires attention to both dynamics. Thus, she chooses to integrate psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, NeuroAffective Touch, and somatic bodywork in her practice.
Amanda also provides clinical supervision and consultations for students doing their Masters in counselling and practicing clinicians. She is committed to a continuous process of learning through actively engaging in therapeutic relationships with her clients, and believes in continuous education.
