About Amanda
Amanda Le Tissier is a counsellor with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction and relationship difficulties. Amanda uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people get unstuck and build day-to-day coping skills.
She combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and elements from client-centred and emotionally focused methods. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on simple steps a person can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Amanda emphasises small, manageable changes rather than dramatic overnight fixes. Amanda draws on personal experience of loss and recovery to inform her approach. This helps her relate to struggles with trauma, bereavement and long-term stress without making assumptions.
She encourages people to notice their own strengths and to use those strengths in practical ways. Typical work includes talking through sleep problems, low self-esteem, anger and difficulty coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with attachment issues, body image concerns, chronic illness, caregiver stress and complex co-morbidity.
Conversations are direct and compassionate, aiming for clearer goals and everyday tools. Sessions are offered by video call, telephone, live chat or messaging. Amanda values a collaborative working style - she helps people set goals and reviews progress with straightforward feedback.
The emphasis is on real-world changes that fit each person’s life.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as core approaches. CBT looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try different behaviours to reduce distress. ACT focuses on values and acceptance, helping people make workable changes even when difficult feelings remain.These methods are explained plainly during the first sessions and adapted to each person's goals. Finding the right approach is a shared process - the therapist will discuss options, listen to preferences and adjust therapy as progress is reviewed. The work is collaborative and based on practical steps that fit the person's life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and working through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, day-to-day support or people who find typed reflection easier to manage.
These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring duties and daily routines. The emphasis is on making therapy accessible and on using the approach that best matches each person’s needs and circumstances.
