Background and approach

Amanda pays attention to how life changes and past hurts affect day-to-day functioning and decision making. Sessions focus on clear, small steps. Conversations aim to make sense of difficult feelings and to identify what helps in the moment.

The work may include trying new ways of reacting, testing small goals between sessions, and noticing patterns that keep problems going. Amanda holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She practises in the United Kingdom and conducts therapy in English.

Her style is respectful and non-judgemental, with an emphasis on the client's own knowledge and choices. Parents looking for support around sleeping, anger, or coping with life changes will find straightforward guidance. Those dealing with trauma, intimacy concerns, fertility or caregiver stress will also find a practical focus on recovery and resilience.

Client-centred care online and how it helps

Amanda uses client-centred therapy, which means she listens closely and follows the client's lead. This approach helps people feel heard and understood, and it works well for anxiety, stress and relationship concerns where personal goals steer the work.

The focus in sessions is on the person's own strengths and choices. Conversations explore what matters most to the client and map out small, practical steps to try between meetings. This is helpful for coping with grief, low confidence, sleeping issues and life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative task. Amanda will talk with clients about their needs and preferences and agree on a plan together. She adapts the pace and methods as the work progresses so the approach fits each person's goals.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit deeper conversations when face-to-face style contact matters, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
