THE DIRECTORS
Amanda Douglas (SHE/HER)
Amanda is an experienced psychologist who values long-term therapy for adults, supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, self-esteem issues, and interpersonal challenges. She operates within a collaborative workspace, taking a client-centred approach that draws on evidence-based frameworks such as interpersonal psychotherapy, psychodynamic and schema therapy approaches, with techniques like acceptance, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness interplayed.
Central to Amanda’s work is identifying relational and behavioural patterns that may be affecting other areas of life. She believes therapy offers a space for compassionate exploration, where insights gained can foster meaningful change beyond the therapy room. By addressing self-esteem, identity, and communication patterns in a supportive setting, clients can begin to apply these understandings in their daily lives.
With extensive experience in trauma-informed care, Amanda recognizes how past experiences shape the present and incorporates this awareness into all aspects of her mental health consulting.
Amanda values environments that feel safe, inclusive, and calm, both in her clinical work and in everyday life. Outside of work, she finds creativity and rhythm to be grounding forces. Whether she’s playing the drums, working on an art project, or immersing herself in a great book, she appreciates the balance that music, art, and literature bring to her life.
TEGWEN KING (SHe/Her)
Tegwen ('Tee-gan') is a registered psychologist with extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults. Her approach is client-centred, trauma-informed, and neuroaffirming, creating a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their experiences, navigate challenges, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. She is particularly passionate about supporting clients in managing anxiety, eating concerns, emotional distress, and interpersonal relationships.
With a background in various settings, including private practice, disability services, forensic, educational, and Out of Home Care (OoHC) environments, Tegwen brings a broad perspective to her work. She integrates evidence-based approaches tailored to each client’s unique needs, fostering self-awareness, resilience, and meaningful change. In her therapy room rental, she aims to provide a collaborative workspace where clients feel comfortable and empowered.
Outside of work, Tegwen enjoys movement, activity, and adventure. She is an avid basketballer, hiker, and gym goer, often spending weekends hiking with her dog, Leo. When unwinding, she enjoys reading on the couch or spending time outdoors in nature.
