Gestalt Therapist (In Training)

Amy Hill

I am a fourth year trainee in Gestalt Psychotherapy at Metanoia institute. I have over 250 client hours and 3 years experience working within the NHS and local mental health charities. I offer long and short term psychotherapy to adults and adolescents. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, abandonment, relationship difficulties, bereavement, cultural challenges, panic attacks, self-harm and working through crisis and trauma.

I have a particular interest in the connection between mind and body and how we can use that to improve our wellbeing. I believe there is a connection between a person's relationship with themselves and others and the healing process. I think that getting in touch with one's feelings, needs and desires contributes to clarify and understand that connection. Fundamentally, I consider the bond between client and therapist essential for the outcome of therapy.
