Hey there, My name is Amy Louise Sharpe and thank you for checking out my website, let me tell you a little bit about myself.
As a therapist, I am not void of the multiplex of emotions that is the human experience, and the difficulties that may come from it. Lived experience, along with my training, allows me to offer an open, safe & empathetic space for you on your therapeutic journey. It is in my humanness, that I hope my client’s see the beauty in theirs.
Living in a multi-cultural society impacts counselling in many ways. It informs the counselling process and the expectations of both client and counsellor, many times unknowingly. As a woman of colour, I have personal understanding of the issues that might influence a black or ethnic minority person’s well-being or their reservations for seeking therapy. I believe it necessary to explore and honor diversity, in order to understand an individual’s experience, story and outlook on the world
I believe a person’s healing journey works best when approached holistically, the mind and body are not separate and I advocate alternative therapies and practices that can coincide with the talking therapy that I provide. I am passionate about meditation and yoga, and have recently completed my EFT (emotional freedom technique) training.
I am currently working as an integrative counsellor. In addition to my private practice, I work as a clinical Assessor for a low cost counselling service in South London and a NHS Team Leader for Wandsworth Talking Therapies. My previous jobs have been in admin and the music industry. I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychology and I have Accredited Registrant membership with the NCPS. I adhere to their ethical frameworks for good practice.
