Amy Durden

I am an experienced and professionally qualified Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist offering support online but based in East London. I also work at The Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience assisting clinical trials exploring the viability and efficacy of psychedelics.As an integrative therapist I work in a Person Centred way drawing from Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and other modalities (EMDR, IFS), depending on a client's individual needs. I also offer the option to work creatively and use art materials and movement in session as a means for expression.I offer a safe, confidential and supportive environment where clients can explore and make sense of any challenges that they are facing. It is my belief that many of the behaviours and beliefs that urge us to seek help were once coping mechanisms that have outlived their usefulness.Through dialogue, challenging, humour and willingness, therapy can allow for both client and therapist to explore more meaningful ways to live and meet life's challenges.I work in a LGBTQ+ friendly and sex positive way and welcome clients looking to address issues around sexuality and gender identity and those in A-typical relationship structures.
