About Amanda
Amanda Lacey is a counsellor who works with people feeling stressed, anxious or overwhelmed. She helps with low mood, self-esteem and motivation. She also supports those dealing with grief and family problems.
She keeps sessions straightforward and calm. Conversations focus on what is worrying the person now and on small practical steps that can make daily life easier. Her aim is to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be said without judgement.
Background and approach
In sessions she often uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. She combines this with mindfulness practices to help people manage intense emotions in the moment. Narrative and existential ideas are woven in to help people make sense of difficult events and life changes.
Amanda is registered with NCPS and has three years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. Her background includes supporting people through family conflict, bereavement, and the challenges of caring for others. She tends to work in a collaborative way, helping each person set clear, achievable goals.
Practical tools and short exercises are commonly suggested between sessions so progress can continue outside the room. People come to Amanda for help with persistent worry, feelings of emptiness, struggles with control, and relationship communication problems. She aims to help people feel steadier and more able to cope with life’s ups and downs.
Therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Amanda commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and it can help when anxiety or low mood make everyday tasks harder.Mindfulness therapy is also part of her work and teaches simple attention exercises. These practices help reduce the intensity of strong emotions and improve calmness in stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that suit their goals and preferences, and adapt techniques as things change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical options. Video works well for in-depth conversations, phone calls suit people with lower bandwidth, and text formats can fit brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments and provide flexibility in how people engage with their care.
