A safe, confidential space for people ready to understand themselves more deeply, rebuild connection, and create lasting change.

Finding the right therapist or coach can feel difficult and overwhelming but you don’t have to do it alone.

At Amend, we know most people were never taught how to process emotions, communicate under pressure, or carry the weight of being a partner or father. Many were told to “man up” and figure it out alone. That old blueprint is broken and it’s costing us our relationships, self-worth, and peace.

You might be here because you feel angry, shut down, or stuck in the same patterns. Maybe you’re navigating a breakup, carrying old wounds, or just want to show up better for yourself and the people you love.

Wherever you are, we get it. We’ve lived it not just studied it.

Since 2019, Amend has supported people through a trauma-informed, practical approach that goes deeper than surface talk. In counselling, you’ll gain tools to regulate emotions, break cycles, and rebuild connection.

Each 60-minute session is a safe, judgment-free space to unpack what’s really going on and start building a new way forward.

While Amend began with a focus on men’s emotional health, Ness’s work centres on supporting women and young people.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, navigating life after trauma or adversity, or searching for direction, her trauma-informed and neurodivergent-affirming approach creates a calm, respectful space where you feel seen, heard, and supported in finding a new way forward.
