Background and approach
Amanda listens for patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviour and helps clients try small, practical changes. She explains options plainly and checks in about what feels useful. Amanda draws on a mix of approaches to match what someone needs in the moment.
That may include mindfulness skills for calming, cognitive techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking, or practical steps to build healthier habits. She works with values and goals so changes fit into everyday life. People who come to her often want help with self-worth, coping with loss or change, handling guilt and shame, or recovering from sexual assault and abuse.
She also supports work on body image, money worries, isolation and midlife re-evaluation. The focus is on what each person wants to change and how best to get there. Sessions are offered in English and can take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Getting started is straightforward: complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the options available.
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online therapy
Amanda often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter. ACT helps people who feel stuck by encouraging them to notice difficult thoughts and still move toward what they care about.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT offers practical exercises and experiments that can reduce anxiety and low mood by changing how someone thinks and what they do.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. Amanda will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your situation. The plan can change over time as your needs change, so the work stays collaborative and flexible.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat or text messaging can help people who prefer not to be on camera and suit brief check-ins or homework support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
