Testimonials

We would highly recommend Amelia

"I'd like to think that there are many psychologists out there like Amelia, but I suspect she's relatively rare. Our son was struggling with severe anxiety to the extent that he found each day overwhelming, was showing extremes of behaviour and was begging us to make the worries stop.

From first reaching out to her for help and advice regarding our 9 year old son, she has been incredible. She has a genuine warmth and compassion that reassured our son and made him feel heard. She gave him and us confidence from the outset that she would find the best way to help him. 5 months on from commencing sessions with Amelia he is doing really well, he is able to manage his worries much better and is a significantly happier child. He and we have strategies to work with and know that, should we need to, we can go back to Amelia if we hit a stumbling-block that we need help to overcome. We would highly recommend Amelia."

I can't recommend Amelia enough

"I’m not too sure where to start! I had hoped for a very long time (10+ years) that my panic attacks and anxiety would stop controlling a lot of elements of my life, I had seen various therapists and none had taken me seriously.

Amelia is so kind and genuinely caring, her different techniques were hard but absolutely necessary for me overcoming my issues.

I can honestly say I’ve not had a panic attack in months and my anxiety has reduced significantly. She has taught me coping strategies and different techniques which I have never heard or learnt of elsewhere.

I can’t recommend her enough, I feel so luckily to have met her and had her help me through." Review in three best rated Psychologists in Bolton. February 2024.

"Last year I found myself on the brink of losing everything I held dear, I felt like I was imploding and I was stuck on a one-way path with no end in sight due to poor decision and past events gripping onto me causing me to spiral out of control. I felt worthless, anxious, depressed and that I was strong enough to do anything about it. After almost losing my family due to my own actions I had to do something about it, I reached out to Amelia for help. She is the kindest, most compassionate and understanding person I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Through weekly face to face sessions, she helped me not only let go of the past but to come to terms with it and understand that I am strong enough, I am worthy and I can move forwards. I am now in a much better place, ready to take on the start of the rest of my life, my attitude has changed, my way of thinking, coping strategies and how i see myself, all thanks to Amelia for helping me understand my thoughts and feelings. Amelia, quite literally, saved my marriage and helped me start building a stronger foundation for me to move forwards" – Review in ‘Three best rated psychologists in Bolton’ - https://threebestrated.co.uk/psychologists-in-bolton) – January 2024

"Our 9 year old son was struggling with severe anxiety that was in turn triggering a range of complex behaviours. We had no idea how to help him and it was terrifying to see the impact it was having on him. He was struggling to get through the day. From his first session with Dr Boshoff our son started to show slow but steady improvement and 5 months on he is a much happier child; he still becomes very anxious but now knows that he can take control of his worries so that they don't take over. She has provided strategies that have helped immensely. She's given our son and us a toolkit for managing his anxiety and thinking that is personalised with examples that are specific to him. She put us all at ease through her genuine compassion and warm professionalism. I cannot recommend her highly enough".

'Dr Amelia has transformed my life beyond recognition. I was struggling with PTSD, depression and anxiety for many years. In a short span of time Dr Amelia has supported me through every challenge and complex situation from when I first walked into her office, I felt understood, comfortable and the office became a safe space for me to express myself without any judgment.

As the sessions went on, I became more confident, self-aware and recognised my potential with the help of Dr Amelia. I couldn't be more grateful for such an amazing experience that I have had and if there was anyone who needed support, I would definitely recommend Dr Amelia.

Thank you once again for being a beacon of light in such a dark time in my life'.

Thank you so much

“I was looking for help with my 14 year old son who has struggled with OCD and anxiety for a few years.

Amelia was fantastic. She really listened, was understanding, and made us feel really comfortable. Within a few weeks I noticed big changes in my son’s behaviour and general confidence.

He is now going out more; enjoying activities and seems happier and care-free.

Amelia has given both of us lots of tools and strategies to understand and manage his anxiety. I feel really positive about his future and my ability to continue to support my son.

I strongly recommend Amelia” (July 2023)

Amelia has genuinely helped me beyond words.

"Amelia is really kind, compassionate and professional. I have a long history of anxiety, depression and trauma.

She has helped me to understand myself better, as well as the impact of my past experiences.

Her advice and support have been invaluable in helping me to be more compassionate to myself.

She has helped me to find ways to cope with my emotions and life struggles in a positive way.

I will definitely get back in touch if I need support in the future" (August 2023)

We simply cannot recommend Amelia highly enough!

"We desperately needed help for our 11 year old son who was struggling with severe anxieties in relation to eating and drinking, separation and obsessive thoughts revolving around germs.

Amelia immediately made him feel completely at ease with her calm and nurturing manner. Within only a few weeks he was trying new foods, was significantly more independent and his contamination fears and hand washing had reduced dramatically.

Amelia provided him, and us, with the tools and strategies needed to understand and be in control of his anxieties.

We simply cannot recommend Amelia highly enough!” (June 2023)

Amelia has been amazing.

"Last year I was overwhelmed with obsessive and repetitive thoughts. I saw Amelia, initially face to face, Amelia is very approachable, professional and easy to open up to.

Amelia has given me the tools that have enabled me to relax with my thoughts and not to catastrophize the simplest of things.

I then moved onto face time meetings, which I found just as useful.

My life is now far more peaceful and I wouldn’t hesitate in going back to Amelia if I felt I needed to in the future" (April 2023)

I highly recommend Amelia.

“I desperately needed help with my social anxiety and panic attacks.

Amelia’s help and advice were excellent in helping me to overcome my panic attacks; be kinder to myself; and to manage my fears about what people might be thinking about me.

Thanks to Amelia, I now live a more fulfilling life. I feel a lot more confident in social situations and will continue to put into practice Amelia’s great help

Thank you” (May 2023)

Thank you

"Amelia responded to my enquiry really promptly and took time to understand why we were looking for help.

She worked with our 9 year old son with both myself and my husband. We all found the sessions really beneficial.

My son was comfortable with her and was able to open up and address his worries.

We wouldn’t hesitate in returning to Amelia if we needed to in future". (April 2023)

Highly recommended

"I couldn't recommend Amelia enough. She made me and my daughter feel comfortable and at ease.

Amelia is kind, caring and professional. She listened to us and was able to understand our key issues and concerns.

She helped us with appropriate strategies and information.

My daughter has stopped self-harming and her mood is much better.

I also feel more informed going forward with ways to help our child". (May 2023)
