Background and approach

Her work includes addressing attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems and caregiver stress. Amanda explains things in plain language and focuses on what clients can do between sessions. She listens closely and follows each person’s lead to build trust and clarity.

Sessions aim to identify small, manageable steps that make everyday life easier. People bring a wide range of concerns, including anger, jealousy, financial worries and questions about life purpose. Amanda also supports LGBT issues, multicultural concerns and effects of narcissistic relationships.

She frames difficulties as problems to be worked on together rather than labels to carry alone. Amanda is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with adults in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients.

Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Client-centred care delivered online

Amanda primarily uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means she listens carefully and follows what each person brings to the session. This approach helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk about anxiety, stress, relationship concerns or past trauma.

The focus is on understanding your experience and working at your pace. Amanda helps explore feelings and priorities, and together you look for small changes that make daily life easier. Finding the right approach is part of the work, and she will discuss options and adapt methods to suit your goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let you see facial cues and have a fuller conversation, while phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is easier. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, flexible scheduling and for people who prefer writing. These formats make regular work on anxiety and stress more accessible and easier to fit into a busy life.
