Mention you spotted Amy in the UK Breastfeeding Support Directory — it helps everyone know this resource is working!

My name is Amy and I am an NCT trained Breastfeeding Counsellor. I live in Bishops Cleeve with my three lovely young children and I breastfed them all for varying amounts of time, my youngest I breastfed until he was 2 and a half. I trained with NCT to become a Breastfeeding Counsellor in 2024 and I am passionate about supporting women to reach their feeding goals whatever they may be. I trained as a peer supporter with Gloucestershire Breastfeeding Supporters Network and have enjoyed doing this for five years.  I volunteered at a group in Churchdown on a Wednesday morning. I have undertaken the peer supporter training with the Association of Breastfeeding Mothers. I also work three days a week within the Maternity services in Gloucester supporting women and families to give up smoking.

I like keeping active, meeting people and spending time with my children.

At the core of my training and practice is a Parent and Baby Centred Approach. I will take time to listen to your needs and offer support to help you achieve your feeding goals. I understand that everyone’s feeding journey is different. I offer no judgement in every individual’s feeding decision, if you are pregnant and looking for more information, have feeding challenges, or unsure of the path you are taking, I can help you make an informed decision with feeding. I can offer face-to-face support if you are in Worcestershire or Gloucestershire, or if you live elsewhere, I can offer a video call. I am looking forward to meeting you and supporting you on your feeding journey.
