Amadea's Story
Amadea Counselling & Psychotherapy was set up by Rachel in 2017, she wanted to help others work through their struggles and provide both long and short-term affordable counselling. We saw the lack of long-term counselling at an affordable price and wanted to provide this for those who need it. At the end of 2023, Amadea turned into a Community Interest Company (CIC) to try and enable funding for those who are unable to pay for full-price counselling.

The Importance of Mental Health

The term "Mental health" holds huge stigma in our country, so we often ignore it. However, emotional health is as important as our physical health. Emotional and physical health are extremely closely connected - if you are unwell physically it will affect you emotionally; if you are unwell emotionally it will present you with physical health issues, shaking as an example.
Sometimes we are desperate to ‘bloom’ and lead a fulfilling life however, issues from our past almost feel like they are strangling us, preventing us from doing what we would like to do. If this sounds familiar, come for some sessions where we can examine your concerns and questions; search for a way in which you can move forward without being dragged down by the events of yesterday.​​​
It may be that you are depressed; bereaved; are experiencing difficulties at work; suffering from anxiety based issues or you may simply have an important decision to make etc. Attending counselling doesn’t mean that you are a “nut case” nor that you are “mental,” merely that there is something going on, for which you would benefit from some time and space in which to process what is happening.
