About Amanda
Amanda Kwesiga offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or major life changes. She writes in a warm, straightforward way and aims to build a trusting relationship that lets clients speak honestly. Amanda works at a pace that feels manageable so people can make sense of what they are facing and set clear, realistic goals.
Amanda is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, or BACP.
Background and approach
She uses a relational, person-centred style that treats the client as the expert on their own life. That means she listens closely and reflects back what she hears, helping people understand their feelings and choices. She has around three years of experience and has worked with people affected by trauma, including domestic abuse, stalking and coercive control.
She has also supported people dealing with substance dependence, work stress, questions of faith and complex grief that is not widely recognised by others. The sessions focus on what the person wants to achieve. Amanda checks progress regularly and adapts the pace as needed.
She draws on other approaches when they may help, while keeping the relationship and the client’s goals central. People who come to Amanda often seek help for anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, parenting strain and trouble coping after loss. Her approach aims to create an unjudgemental space where people can be heard, name their concerns and begin practical steps toward change.
How Amanda's person-centred approach works online
Amanda primarily uses a person-centred, relational approach that focuses on listening and helping clients make sense of their own experience. This involves reflective listening, validating feelings and supporting people to set their own goals. It is helpful for anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.She also adapts other therapeutic elements when they suit a person’s needs, such as helping to process trauma or working through grief. These additions are used alongside the core person-centred work rather than replacing it, and they are chosen collaboratively based on what the client wants to achieve.
Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy. Amanda will talk with each client about their priorities and preferences, then agree how to proceed. That collaboration helps shape session pace, focus and which tools are introduced.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls give face-to-face contact when seeing expressions and body language matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need brief updates, or want a way to reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life and different coping needs.
