our story
We set up aMAZing Therapy Centre to do things differently – offering therapy that’s truly accessible to everyone, and a structure that gives back to the community we’re part of
Affordable Counselling with Real Social Impact
aMAZing Therapy Centre (aTC) is a not-for-profit counselling service supporting adults online and in-person across Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire, with sessions available online across the rest of the UK.
We offer private, affordable therapy for anyone who needs support, clarity, or simply a safe space to talk things through.
As a Community Interest Company (CIC), we reinvest a percentage of our income into funded counselling for people in crisis who wouldn’t otherwise be able to access help. So, while you're getting the support you need, you're also quietly making it possible for someone else to get the support they need.
why we exist
We know how heavy life can feel. And sometimes, just having someone to talk to makes all the difference.
Whether you’re feeling anxious, grieving, overwhelmed, stuck, or simply need space to figure things out – we’re here for that.
Our counsellors offer a warm, judgement-free space where you can talk, reflect, and breathe again. You don’t have to have the right words – you just have to show up.
And we’ll help you find a way forward, at your pace, in your way.
who we help
We work with:
-
Private clients – people looking for confidential support, clarity, and space to breathe again
-
Community members in crisis – individuals supported through our partner organisations, including those affected by homelessness, domestic abuse, trauma, or the criminal justice system
Our clients come from all walks of life, and every single one receives the same high-quality, compassionate care.
Whoever you are, you’re welcome at aTC.
our approach
We’re not a directory or a tech platform. We’re a person-centred counselling collective.
That means:
-
You’re matched to the right therapist for you – not left to scroll through profiles
-
You can choose to meet in person or online (depending on your location)
-
We care – and we genuinely listen
We believe in simple, human-first therapy. No pressure. No judgment. Just support that works.
Making a Difference, Quietly
When you book sessions with us, you’re not just looking after yourself – you’re helping keep our doors open to those in urgent need. We reinvest a percentage of our income to support people facing barriers to accessing mental health care, through our Pay It Forward Fund.
It’s not something you have to think about – but it’s a powerful part of what makes this work feel meaningful.
We’re also proud to partner with local organisations to provide fully-funded counselling for people experiencing trauma, violence, homelessness, addiction, or involvement with the justice system.
