Amy is a Nondual Therapist and Mentor who offers support in exploring the nature of experience and the self, integrating spiritual awakening experience, and guiding people through their natural unfolding towards recognising their inherent well-being. She is skilled in guided self-inquiry and deep shadow work, exploring core belief structures through the felt sense. Amy works with you in gentle anchoring through the process of awakening out of the illusion of thought based living and into the magic of the real. She engages in her work with clients as partnership, fostering an atmosphere of openness, sweet curiosity, compassion, and a deep commitment to truth
"to love someone is to learn the song in their heart and sing it back to them when they have forgotten it"

You're god, and there's nothing you can do about it!
"What I find incredibly exciting is that everyone, without exception, is already experiencing this amazing actuality constantly and to be able to see this, to feel and live its nature is totally accessible. It's not special. It's not reserved for special people, or special practices, and as far as my experience shows me there is no one that this is not the case for – It’s right here, right now, wide open, and is totally impersonal and inclusive, this is its nature. It’s not human. It doesn’t have our human hang ups, this reality, and so all of the ideas that we have about how this beauty, awe, wonder, love, unity, and liberation ‘isn’t for me’ (aka the core wound of unworthiness) are just left for dust. Which makes inhabiting our humanity not only bearable, but fresh, exquisite, intoxicating, awe striking, and deeply intimate. This is very, very exciting, and humbling, and exciting. So what are the implications? – freedom from and within the human experience of suffering, doubt, confusion, limitation, and fear, and a returning to the natural magic and miracle of experiencing this everyday inhabitation of ‘being human’. This experiencing is wildly beautiful and true, and if there’s a sense of resonance for you its definitely worth recognising in this human lifetime - it’s The Green Light to Live!"

​​​​​​​My Point of View:
​
-
Nonduality and recognising presence as The Self offers the greatest sense of freedom, wisdom and deep seeing to live in our truth as a human experience - to be our authentic expression and live in our hearts as shared being.
-
Current Nonduality dialogue can miss the human experience and the need to honour secure attachment in the context of unconditional love as an important aspect of integrating experience and coming to feel safety,connection, and authenticity as the present moment
-
Following your own resonance, recognising your inner guru and the unique alchemical unfoldment that is naturally taking place within you is the most empowering and direct way to embrace the self as the freedom and flow of experiencing, without negating experience and suffering.
-
A grounded recognition and application of the fact of consciousness/awareness as primary to all of life is needed in order to support freedom within suffering and reduce the negation of experience/living life.
-
Exploring the nature of experience, reality, this actuality, just happens to be the most fun, healing, awe striking, and magical experiencing that we can have in a human lifetime. This is how friendly, open, and loving reality, this presence, is.

Amy now works privately following ten years practicing as a Psychologist with NHS CAMHS in Scotland. She recognises healing and creating as synonymous and enjoys exploring the status quo in mental health care in relation to notions of 'normal functioning', 'disorganised', 'dysfunctional', and 'complex trauma', within societal and spiritual frameworks, and common dialogue. Amy works therapeutically within the ground of Nondual Therapy and integrates a range of evidence based therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems Theory, and more general Depth Psychology (soul integration/individuation). She is also well versed in Deep Ecology and Permaculture Design and is passionate about healing & remapping mental models as pointers to recognising True Nature through direct experiencing and perception of the wider living natural world.
"every energy that shows up in your experience is a lightning bolt from God. It is pure divine shakti, and it is truth, and when you see it and own it as a vector of divine force, its a weapon in your arsenal. You're using it, but you're not doing something with it, you're using it by seeing it...seeing is doing. When you see what things are you've done it. So it's kind of like surfing. When you see these energies and you see the truth of it, you ride that truth and that is integrated to all the other energies, until you see the full field of the energies and you're surfing the whole thing, and then you dissolve as a separate surfer and its just this field of energy surfing itself"
