Amanda Baker Psychotherapist Chichester offers professional counselling and psychotherapy with over 25 years of experience. I focus exclusively on private clinical work, supporting adults and young people aged 16 and up. This work remains close to my heart, as it allows me to build meaningful, transformational relationships with clients.
I always begin therapy with your goals in mind. Whether short-term or long-term, each session focuses on real, lasting change. Clients appreciate my collaborative style, which encourages honesty and supports early relief. Still, I never lose sight of deeper, sustainable transformation.
Before moving into private practice, I worked across multiple universities including Oxford and London. There, I held roles in counselling, supervision, teaching, and leadership. As a tutor and external moderator for accredited psychodynamic programs, I developed advanced skills in clinical education. These years shaped the grounded and evidence-informed practice I offer today.
Over time, I have gained expertise in helping young adults through rapid life transitions. These may include identity challenges, shifting family roles, or new responsibilities. However, developmental change does not end in youth. Therapy often reopens emotional growth—regardless of your age. That’s why I enjoy supporting clients at all life stages.
In order to deepen my clinical effectiveness, I completed a three-year training in Experiential Dynamic Therapy (EDT). This led to writing two chapters for Theory and Practice of Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy and publishing work in professional journals. These experiences continue to inform how I work with trauma and emotional conflict.
I am a senior accredited counsellor, psychotherapist, and supervisor with BACP. I also hold registration with UKCP and UPCA. Every aspect of my work follows strict ethical guidelines and is informed by research. I also comply fully with data protection laws via ICO registration.
Today, I offer one-to-one psychotherapy, counselling, and supervision in Chichester. I bring every session my full attention, expertise, and care.
