Amanda Morris, psychotherapist

I am passionate about supporting people to make sense of any difficulties they are currently experiencing, where these difficulties come from and how to respond to them in healthy and constructive ways.

I specialise in the areas of substance use and/or youth mental health and have over two decades of experience working therapeutically with people who are having difficulties with mental health, psychosocial and/or drug and alcohol issues.

I believe, and have personally experienced, that when we have stronger and healthier connections to both ourselves and others that life can be much more fulfilling. My practice involves working on developing these connections and not only feeling better about oneself and others but also building a more rewarding and fulfilling life. 

Therapeutic approaches:
