Background and approach
The work is collaborative and paced around what feels manageable. Her experience covers stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, low mood, grief and loss, neurodivergent needs such as ADHD and autism, and workplace difficulties. She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse and those navigating life changes.
Amanda draws on approaches that attend to emotional patterns and past experiences while staying grounded in present needs. She uses attachment-informed thinking, client-centred listening, mindfulness, psychodynamic ideas, and trauma-focused perspectives to shape sessions. The emphasis is on practical understanding rather than labels.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Amanda has three years of counselling experience and holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential noted in her profile. She will work with each person to find an approach that fits their situation.
Approach and online therapy that fits your life
Amanda commonly draws on attachment-based work and trauma-focused ideas. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people understand why they react in certain ways and how to build different relational habits. Trauma-focused work pays attention to painful experiences and methods to reduce their ongoing impact, useful for people coping with past abuse or overwhelming events.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda treats therapy as a collaboration and will help you choose methods that match your needs, goals and preferences. Together you can try different ways of working and adjust the focus as you go.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or days when not being on camera feels better. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, while keeping the practical focus on what helps most.
