Background and approach
Amanda has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Her work includes supporting people with grief, trauma and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar disorder. She also addresses concerns related to sleep, eating, parenting stress and compassion fatigue.
She offers help around anxiety-related problems such as panic, social anxiety and phobia, and attention difficulties like ADHD. Additional focus areas include body image, communication problems and issues connected to neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. In sessions Amanda will listen without judgment and help clients notice what is already working.
She aims to make conversations straightforward so busy or worried people can use therapy without added complexity.
Client-centred support online and how it helps
Amanda uses client-centred therapy, which means she listens closely and follows what the client finds important. This approach focuses on empathy, reflecting feelings and helping people find their own solutions, which can help with anxiety, self-esteem and relationship concerns.Sessions can also focus on practical problem solving and plain conversation about daily stresses. That style suits people who want straightforward help with coping, sleep problems, eating concerns, panic or workplace issues. The counsellor aims to build on strengths rather than imposing a fixed plan.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss options and together with the client decide what feels most useful based on goals and preferences. This collaborative exploration can change over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make contact easier to fit into life. Video calls support face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options give flexibility for people juggling work, family or busy schedules.
