Meet Amanda
Welcome, I’m Amanda Dee, a Chartered Clinical Psychologist with a passion for helping individuals navigate the complexities of mental and physical health.
After gaining my doctorate in 2007 from the University of Canterbury, I moved to Manchester and developed a specialist interest in the field of chronic pain, where I worked in the NHS until 2020. Following a few years of trying to juggle work and life I decided to take a different path, and in 2020 I took a huge leap of faith and set up my own private practice.
I now see a broad range of clients from across the country with a variety of physical and mental health difficulties. Being able to witness my clients come through the darkest of times with a new lease of life, direction or purpose is an absolute privilege and joy.
Therapy Can Help You
Therapy is a powerful tool for transformation. It’s more than just managing symptoms; it’s about uncovering the root of your difficulties, understanding them, and learning new strategies to cope and thrive.
There are many different therapies and therapists out there and it can feel quite daunting trying to find the right one to help. As a clinical psychologist I have been trained in a range of different evidence- based therapies. This means that following an in-depth assessment, where I get to fully understanding your difficulties, I can draw on a range of therapies to help you improve your mood and reconnect with what truly matters to you, all within a supportive and non- judgmental environment.
Whether you’re navigating chronic pain, mental health challenges, or looking for strategies to enhance your life quality, your journey towards a more fulfilling life starts here.

“Dr Dee's approach of self-compassion and mindfulness had a momentus impact on me to the point where I am now able to enjoy life again. I will always be eternally grateful to Dr Dee who was able to help me realise the challenges I had faced were not my fault but a function of life in general whilst simultaneously equipping me with the tools to manage them going forward."
"The therapy has opened my eyes to aspects of my personality and of life in general that I did not even suspect existed. I feel I have a deeper understanding of myself which is deeply changing of how I think of myself and of others. It opened my eyes to who I am, and I like myself better for it. I can only recommend to people who have difficulty coping with life at any level to put in the work and take the journey. I am quite certain they will get the tools and means to inner resilience out of it"
“Dr Amanda worked with me for 9 months to help manage some personal and professional anxiety I was experiencing following a lot of upheaval and change in my life. She helped me to understand my mind and why I was processing and feeling the way I was, but most importantly taught me that those feelings aren’t something I should punish myself for and that they were a natural response. We spent the sessions helping me to build up my compassionate self, giving me tools to help me cope at times of stress and challenge, expanding my tolerance bandwidth and learning that I have the power to face into things. On a personal note, I also found Amanda made it fun, she’s very approachable, likeable and the sessions quickly became something I looked forward to. I know that if I ever need a top up to what I have learned, Amanda will be my first port of call – highly recommend.”
“Amanda has changed my life for the better - this is no overstatement. I was suffering from burn out and crippling anxiety which was preventing me from living. I'd had previous 'therapy' sessions but working with Amanda was completely different and transformative - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. Life is too precious to be held hostage by your mind or bad experiences.”
Testimonials
“I had seen many therapists in the past and had no success, so I was about to lose hope, then I began sessions with Dr Dee. She gave me the tools I needed to heal and recover from my trauma. I have a whole new lease on life and I'm just so glad I didn't give up and gave therapy another chance. I will forever be grateful to Dr Dee for all the help and support she gave me as well as the tools she taught me which I use every day.”
“In 2022 I was referred to Amanda for guidance in some personal matters. This was a tough time personally and yet from the very first session it was evident that Amanda would play a key role in my recovery. Amanda’s ability to listen, ask sympathetic and yet probing questions, and very swiftly ‘join the dots’ was impressive. Whilst some sessions were tough, I always felt energised and positive when our calls ended. It’s very easy to give anyone or anything 5 stars these days, I’ll be honest l never do, however Amanda deserves that accolade. A fantastic psychologist. I would thoroughly recommend.”
“I started therapy with Amanda with no knowledge about the process and zero expectations for results. Amanda was kind, understanding and compassionate about my struggles, she guided me through every stage and led me out of a difficult mindset. I was given the tools and techniques to conquer the hardships I faced and now have a new outlook.”
“I would just like to say thank you, the sessions for me were really worthwhile. It helped me not only understand but manage my anxiety. The tools and skills that I learnt I will continue to carry with me”
“I came to therapy at my lowest, both physically and emotionally. The sessions have felt like a true partnership where Amanda put me at ease whilst expertly guiding my thinking. The trust I was able to place in her and the process has enabled me to take back control of my life, become equipped with tools to use forever and experience genuine, significant improvement. I leave with hope, happiness and less pain. “
