Hello, I'm Amanda Bangham, I'm 59 and married with 2 grown up daughters.  I have over 30 years experience and qualifications relating to behaviour and learning difficulties from childhood to adult. 

You may be going through difficult experiences such as a relationship breakdown, bereavement or redundancy.  Or you may want help dealing with feelings of sadness, depression, anxiety or low self-worth that doesn't seem to be connected to any particular event.
Just remember you are not alone.  I'm here.
​

My life experiences have enabled me to work within the boundaries/ethical framework of my career, and has given me a natural ability to communicate and listen instinctively.  
​
I believe that self-worth and learning to value yourself are the keys to unlocking a fulfilling and happy life.  I understand how talking to someone who is emphatic and congruent, in a confidential setting can make it a safe place to explore ones' own feelings, the world and where you fit in it.
