Amelia Scanlan
Hello, and welcome. I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist in Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire. I have been working as a psychotherapist in private practice since 2019, having worked for over 20 years supporting people whilst working at several national and local charities. See more about my experience here.
My therapy room in Sowerby Bridge is a very private, comfortable and creative space based on the top floor of the Artemis Centre, easily accessible by train or bus from Halifax, Manchester, Bradford and Leeds, with nearby on street parking. We will have an opportunity to explore your experience using different ways; some talking, perhaps some creative exploration using provided materials, and we may get up and move if you feel comfortable to do so; everything is at your pace, and we will work together to allow things to unfold in a way that feels right for you. I welcome enquiries from anyone searching for a space for reflection, support and growing self awareness.
As well as in my therapy room, I am trained in and offer eco/nature/wild therapy outside, please see here for more information. My Masters dissertation was written around the disconnection we as humans have from the rest of the ecosystem, the impact of that disconnection on our well-being, and the role of therapy in healing that split. I also offer sessions online/phone for those who find that easier, or are further away.
Although I welcome enquiries from anyone seeking support, I have a special interest in:
Trauma
Parenthood: planning, pregnancy and post-partum
Anxiety
ADHD
Prior to specialist training and experience in the areas listed above, I received a Masters (with distinction) in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy following seven years of intensive training at the highly respected Bath Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy. This was a Level 7 course involving seven years of experiential learning and academia, seven years of personal therapy, and a very high level of supervision throughout. I continue to engage with learning and supervision on a regular basis, more details of this can be found here.
It might be that you don't feel yourself neatly fitting into one of the above categories but you are still seeking therapeutic support. If so, please get in touch. I will be clear about whether I feel I can offer you the support you need.
It can be hard to find the right therapist, and I’m happy to answer any queries you may have to help you to make the right decision for you. Here you will find some FAQ's about psychotherapy which you may find useful.
