Experience
Amelia Scanlan
I have been working as a psychotherapist in private practice since 2019.
Previously, I gained 20+ years' experience working for local and national charities supporting adults, children and families around sexual and domestic violence, mental health, adoption, self harm, managing suicidal feelings, and those affected by trafficking and exploitation. I have run several groups specific to mental health, sexuality and gender and trauma, and I have supported people from many cultures and religions in the UK, as well as working overseas. I have delivered training to professionals working in school and social care around mental health, self harm and resilience.
Charities and organisations I have worked for include
Barnardos
Depaul UK
CLEAR (children linked to and experiencing abusive relationships)
