Amy Medley Psychotherapy Cardiff

About Me

I’m Amy Medley, a qualified relational counsellor and trainee Gestalt psychotherapist. My practice focuses on LGBTQIA+ issues, neurodiversity, and creative arts. I am in the process of gaining UKCP accreditation, having recently completed my training at the Welsh Psychotherapy Institute. Additionally, I carry professional indemnity insurance and have a clear disclosure and barring (CRB) check.

Before psychotherapy, I worked as a musician and social worker for over ten years. My social work experience spans mental health, crisis teams, child protection, learning disabilities, and adoption. Now, I run a private psychotherapy practice, accepting referrals from charities and employee assistance schemes.

Services

I provide psychotherapy based on Gestalt principles. This approach encourages profound self-exploration, helping you understand your emotions, thoughts, and actions. Our work together will be collaborative, with a focus on uncovering who you truly are.

Psychotherapy for Individuals

In one-to-one sessions, I support clients in exploring their emotions and thoughts in a safe, non-judgemental space. Together, we’ll work on uncovering the root causes of any issues you’re facing. Through Gestalt techniques, we’ll examine how your experiences shape your identity and behaviours.

Support for Neurodiverse Individuals

I have a particular interest in working with neurodiverse individuals. If you have ADHD, autism, or other neurological conditions, therapy can help you understand and manage your challenges. I offer tailored support to help with emotional regulation, relationships, and self-esteem.

Creative Therapy Approaches

When words fall short, creativity can offer an alternative. In therapy, I use imagery and creative arts techniques to help you express difficult emotions. This approach can unlock deeper insights, providing a richer therapeutic experience.

LGBTQIA+ Affirmative Therapy

I offer an affirming, inclusive environment for individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community. Whether you are exploring your identity or navigating relationships, I create a space where you can feel safe and supported.
