About Amanda
Amanda Romano Gutierres is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and has helped people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports clients who are coping with trauma and abuse, and who want to build their confidence and self-esteem.
Her work is practical and person-centred. She listens closely and adapts conversations to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on real-life steps people can use between meetings as well as understanding what led to their current struggles.
Background and approach
Amanda also pays attention to long-standing patterns such as attachment difficulties and issues that arise around forgiveness and self-love. She offers straightforward support for challenges linked to narcissistic behaviour in others and post-traumatic stress reactions. She speaks English and Portuguese and works with adults in the UK.
Amanda aims for a respectful and sensitive approach that recognises how daunting beginning therapy can feel. She encourages small steps and clear goals so people can see gradual change over time. Practical arrangements and the format of sessions are discussed at the start so that therapy fits daily life.
The counsellor will tailor the plan to your circumstances and revisit it as needed.
Therapeutic approaches to manage anxiety online
Amanda uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear, practical steps and understanding patterns. One common approach helps people recognise and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that maintain anxiety and low mood. It involves noticing automatic thoughts, testing them in daily life, and practising new responses to reduce distress.Another strand of work focuses on trauma recovery and post-traumatic stress. This approach helps people make sense of distressing memories and develop coping strategies to manage strong reactions. It also addresses attachment-related patterns to improve ways of relating to others and to oneself.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Amanda works collaboratively with each person to decide what fits best based on their goals, history and preferences. She reviews progress and adapts the plan as needed so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates or people who prefer writing and can fit sessions around busy schedules.
