Amanda 
McFarlane 

My name is Amanda (she/her). I support adults, young adults, and adolescents through their journey and path to healing. Through my caring and gentle approach to therapy, I aim to provide a space free of judgement where clients feel safe and comfortable from the first session. 

I acknowledge the path to healing can be daunting and overwhelming, I commend your strength in taking the first step (or maybe second or third) in reaching out to book a session. The journey of healing and self-discovery is different for everyone, and we will work collaboratively to overcome life’s challenges and complexities so you can heal and grow.

My approach is person-centred; however, I provide a multi-disciplined approach to therapeutic engagement. You are the expert of your life, and I will meet you where you are on your journey. I pride myself on being understanding, warm, and a good listener. I strongly believe in the significance of the therapeutic relationship, I am deeply interested and genuinely curious about you as an individual. There is no one-size-fits-all to treatment. Our therapeutic relationship is built on trust, understanding, authenticity, respect, and genuineness. 

Mental health is complex; solely treating symptoms will not lead to lasting change. I work holistically, considering the whole person's multidimensional aspects of wellness, including physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual. My treatment plans are tailored to each individual and their unique set of circumstances. In our first session, we will explore your presenting concerns and questions surrounding your life, relationships, and experiences as a detailed history. This will provide appropriate information to identify your therapeutic goals and will guide treatment interventions.

As a counsellor, I help you to navigate life’s challenges to improve your overall well-being by holding a safe and secure space for your healing through collaboration, kindness, and authenticity. Together we can create you a life that brings you happiness, meaning, and purpose: Untangling the Mind.
