"Though the nature of existence is extremely subtle and profound, so too is the perceiving intelligence that experiences all this. What you are is intrinsically aligned with the very nature of what you are trying to understand. This alignment grants you the ability to comprehend it"
PETER BROWN
Hi, I'm Amy -
Nondual Psychologist, Therapist, and Mentor
Meeting in experiential inquiry together is my offering, invitation, and encouragement to be engaging in and living this life in a constantly new and extraordinary yet simultaneously ordinary and obvious way, fully inclusive of all human experiencing.
Our experiencing of suffering of course does not define us, but it does, when approached through intelligent engagement and reparenting as this presence of experiencing, reveal our way into exactly what is needed and longed for. That is, the truth that is the nature of experience and all arising phenomena as yourself.
The result? Aware, open, engaged, flowing, and not to mention a sense of connection, belonging, inspiration, and meaning beyond measure - all inside your own experience of being alive as the empty-fullness of home.
Facilitating your unfolding - revealing the heart of life...
A Psychology that never leaves the ground.
I practice in Nondual Psychology and Therapy - facilitating self/experiential inquiry in the context of spiritual awakening, existential suffering, trauma, addiction, and conscious relating. I facilitate the natural energetic unfolding of being/consciousness through the frame of Reparenting as Presence and Compassionate Attunement. I am passionate about aligning radical empiricism in the cessation of seeking and associated suffering in a ‘non-pathologising’ applied Psychology that honors depth, and illuminates the truth of the nondual nature of experience.
As well as my one to one therapy and mentorship practice I am co-developer and teacher of the Reclaiming Wholeness Training for Practitioners.
I love music. I love dancing. I love witnessing life in the natural world. I love here. I love us. I love.
I am currently learning to paint.
I had a constant lump in my throat.
It wouldn't go away.
I found myself inside it.
Now all that's left is love.
Before coming to a nondual way of working, much of therapy, including my own early practice, quietly assumed that the therapist stands slightly apart from the process. Even when there is care, skill, and deep listening, something essential can remain just out of reach. That is, the living immediacy of what is actually here. This which we share beyond anything our usual ideas of intimacy can touch.
Nondual therapy is different.
In Nondual Therapy, 'the therapist' is consistently referring to the alive presence of the experiential field, checking in on its nature, and sharing in this with 'the client'. The therapist is also naturally requesting that the client does the same - not as a 'doing' or a technique, but as life's naturalness in deep attunement and engagement with itself. Inquiry isn't something that we do. It's this. Its' what we are. It's what we share. It's what this - life - IS.
Do you feel the profoundly simple beauty of this? There aren't, fundamentally, two people enquiring. There is one heart. One beat. One life. Enquiring into itself.
It begins, again and again, at its very simple heart, as a radical invitation to include yourself, all of you - the entirety of experience, exactly as it is appearing. Not as a project to improve, or a story to analyse - but as lived experience, right now. This is quite different to the 'dropping of the I' of the direct path, and as much different to the usual therapeutic modus operandi of analysis, treatment, and self-betterment.
In nondual therapeutic work, your experience is not something to be interpreted from the outside. Nor is it something 'to be transcended'. You are the authority, the sovereignty, the flow. The answers aren’t “out there,” waiting to be delivered. They emerge from directly feeling what’s present - together. When we slow down enough to do that, something shifts. And it's profound in a very human yet out of this world kind of way. There’s less fixing, less trying to change yourself through another person’s eyes, and more attunement to what’s already unfolding.
This doesn’t necessarily mean pouring thoughts or explanations, or getting lost in interpretations. In fact, nondual therapy gently moves away from that. We learn to recognise interpretations as interpretations - and to return to what’s actually being felt, the feeling that's driving the discomfort along with the medicine of frequency it truly needs (rather than what is thought to be needed - through which we suffer). Discernment here doesn’t come from theory, or second guessing ourselves, dancing around doubt, or being told by another 'what is really going on'.
It comes from the living contact of aliveness.
That’s you. That’s me. That’s this.
The work is grounded in a radical curiosity inside the felt sense. We include everything that shows up: confusion, longing, self-consciousness, disconnection, tenderness, resistance - even inner conflict - alongside moments of clarity, love, peace, or a sense of home. Nothing needs to be excluded for something real to happen. Life is always wide open, exactly as you are - ready to be met, by exactly what you are.
And it is perfect beyond measure.
The central question at the heart of our moment to moment togetherness is:
What’s here?
What's it like, really?
Can we be with this fully - even if it means that the true clarity of what we are burns us up - together?
And now?
What's here now?
Not to be answered conceptually, we live it.
Together, as one, we ride the waves of aliveness.
When we meet experience this way, the healing isn’t something added on. It’s already happening in the willingness to feel, to stay, to let what’s true be known. The therapeutic relationship becomes a place where it’s safe to jump,
or sink,
or plunge
knowing you’re not doing it alone.
Rather than being directed or fixed, you’re invited into the resource of your own being. Change comes not through striving, but through allowing yourself to be fully present with what is - step by step, at your own pace.
For many people, this feels both confronting and deeply relieving. It can be surprising to discover how much intelligence, care, and natural movement are already here when we stop rushing past our experience, or (often very skilfully) attempting to dissolve or transcend it - but rather we fully feel it through the body. We slow down. We find nourishment in the pause. And gradually, we remember what it’s like to live from home -
wherever,
whenever,
whatever.
And the more the felt presence and aliveness is felt in the field, through relationship, and its power of simple seeing is recognised - the more obvious it is that there was never, and is never, a need to fix a thing.
It's always here. It's always this.
"A number of times I have realized my questions do not have answers in thought form"
"I am more open to looking, being curious and not pushing away the present moment, regardless of the vibe it carries."
"There has definitely been a shift in energy, and more openness to experience, where it used to be fear."
Being Love
Love is not an action or an emotion, it can’t be found or lost, gained or stolen, fixed or broken. Love is the nature of all that is, of all that you are, effortlessly and naturally here, always. You don’t need to do anything for love, and nothing that you ever do can diminish the love that you are in any way. Love is the sentience of your very being,
unencumbered and unobstructed,
noticed endlessly when you are present and open to this that simply is. Exploring and recognising love in moments of joy and in moments of pain and difficulty is at the heart of being the living embodiment of the question ‘what is the nature of experience?’ and naturally, without effort, orients towards itself as love in all circumstances. This is a full inclusion – as is the living breathing question ‘what is the nature of experience’ as the fundamental fabric of our being.
"I have connected deeper with reality/ awareness. I have let go of a lot of my idea's of how things "should" go and how I "should" be. I have noticed a lot more peace, a lot more understanding of myself and others. As well as getting a real felt sense of the interconnectedness between myself, god and all other beings."
"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"

What you can expect in our work together:
Presence. Relationship. Real Change.
...an Intelligent Engagement
Our work together is not about fixing what’s broken. It’s about meeting what’s here - with presence, care, curiosity, and deep listening. My approach is rooted in Compassionate Attunement and Reparenting as Presence, a model of healing that recognises even our most painful patterns as intelligent responses to the unmet need for unwavering presence. I also draw on an integration of attachment theory within a nondual framework, honouring how our relational nervous systems shape the experience of being - even (and especially) on the spiritual path.
As we work together, you can expect to be gently supported to explore your experience of being. This is not to solve yourself. Rather, it is to feel directly into the qualities of being that have always been here, waiting to be recognised.
This work isn't about quick fixes or bypassing discomfort. It's about slowly, gently learning to trust the ground that was never lost. That's where lasting change and peace lives.
A Commitment to Depth
...Moving in this space beyond coping and fixing
This is not a fast-track approach and in our human experience this can feel challenging. Fast track approaches and 'quick shifts' keep us on the surface of experiencing where we can't fully resource the qualities of self that we need to stabilise in lasting change. I don’t offer surface-level tools or problem solving strategies. Tools can be explored as a means of facilitating revealing the depth of presence as a feature of our work together but will not be offered as 'a solution'. Revealing our patterns relationally - is how lasting transformation takes root.
Attachment-sensitive Nonduality
You may be walking a deep nondual path already, maybe even beyond personal identity, and still feel the tender struggle of unmet attachment patterns. That’s not failure. That’s human.
This work honours both: the formless essence of what you are, and the relational imprint of your lived experience. Sometimes this integration can feel paradoxical or confusing. That’s okay. I will support you in making space for both without bypass or shaming - whilst allowing all feelings like shame to be fully present.
...Presence as the Radiant Parent.
Experiential Inquiry
Our work is experiential. That means you’ll be gently guided to feel and meet your experience more directly over time. I hold compassion for resistance - and this process does ask for your willingness to be in relationship with what arises. This is not a training in strategies. This is a return to self through relationship - and it’s our therapeutic relationship, held in compassionate attunement, that reveals the healing field.
...Radical empiricism
I hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and MSc in Applied Psychology (Healthcare - Children and Young People) and previously practiced for 8 years as a Psychologist with Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (NHS, Scotland) – where my role involved psychological assessment, formulation, and treatment for children and families, and evidence based programme design, implementation, and evaluation. My focus was mainly working with parents and young children in the exploration of attachment, and with adolescents suffering moderate to severe mental health difficulties. I also worked with the Autism diagnostic team and in a clinical teaching role with the University of Edinburgh. In research, I evaluated integrity and fidelity of peer assisted supervision models in evidence based programme evaluation and delivery. I also explored qualitative and quantitative measures of early cognitive precursors to theory of mind development and how this is facilitated through parent engagement in the dynamics of attachment patterns.
I took a break in my psychology career when I left the National Health Service in 2016. This was a movement in following consciousness unfolding and connecting with self nature. I studied Permaculture Design and provided an independent evaluation service for projects in Community Supported Agriculture and Agroecology, using nature's patterns and principles to observe and develop theories of change. I then returned to therapeutic/mentorship work, and practitioner development, in my private practice.
