Background and approach

Sessions focus on what the client wants to change or understand. Amanda listens, reflects and helps people find practical steps they can try between sessions. Amanda uses approaches that include attachment-based ideas, client-centred ways of working and cognitive behavioural techniques.

That means she pays attention to how relationships shape feelings, follows the client’s pace, and uses straightforward tools for managing thoughts and behaviours. Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She treats each person as an individual and adapts sessions to their needs and goals.

The work can include talking things through, practising new skills, and setting achievable goals. Amanda holds the NCPS credential and has eight years of experience in counselling. She offers sessions in English and works with people from the UK and internationally.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that fit their schedule.

How Amanda’s approaches work online

Amanda commonly draws on attachment-based work and client-centred counselling alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how past and current relationships affect feelings and coping, which can help with anxiety and relationship difficulties. Client-centred counselling means the therapist follows the person’s lead, offers non-judgemental listening and helps clients find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural approaches give clear, practical tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours to reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then choose ways of working together. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during therapy.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer discussion is needed. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or want to fit support around a busy day. These options help people access counselling from different locations and at times that fit their schedules.
