About Me
Welcome, it’s lovely to have you here.
I’m Jessica Condell, founder of Amaya Wellbeing. I support adults and children who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected or caught in patterns that keep repeating in their relationships or inner world. You might be finding it hard to feel close to others, struggling with intense emotional reactions or carrying a sense of loneliness, stress or feeling stuck.
I offer a warm, steady and reflective space where we can slow things down together, make sense of what is happening and begin to understand the deeper patterns shaping your experiences. My work is grounded in a long-standing curiosity about how emotional responses and relationship patterns develop over time, and how early relationships and ongoing stress can influence the way we relate to ourselves and others throughout life.
My experience spans both community and private practice, alongside senior roles in the mental health and social services sector. This has included leading and supporting teams of psychologists and social workers, contributing to domestic and family violence policy and working with individuals and systems exposed to high levels of stress and trauma. These experiences inform a grounded and nuanced approach, particularly for clients carrying complex or layered stories.
My work is guided by evidence-based, trauma-informed and attachment-focused frameworks, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR-informed approaches and nervous-system-informed practice. Therapy is always collaborative and tailored to you, with an emphasis on emotional safety, regulation and meaningful change rather than quick fixes.
At the heart of my work is a commitment to respectful, thoughtful and compassionate care. I aim to bring together warmth and professionalism in a way that helps clients feel safe, supported and genuinely understood. Clients often share that they feel heard, validated and able to make sense of experiences that may previously have felt confusing or overwhelming.
