About Amanda

She works with adults and teenagers and aims to create a calm space where someone can talk through what feels hard right now.

Amanda uses straightforward, conversational approaches in sessions.

She also supports people living with ADHD or autism spectrum challenges, and those coping after the death of a human or animal loved one.
Her work includes helping people manage sleep and eating concerns, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue and workplace stress. Amanda also supports those navigating fertility loss, ageing and transitions, chronic illness or caring responsibilities. She aims to listen closely and help people find practical next steps they can try between meetings.
Amanda draws on several therapeutic methods to match what each person needs. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, building emotional awareness and trying new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings. She encourages small, achievable changes that fit into everyday life.
People who value a warm, patient counsellor may find her way of working helpful when coping with major disruption, including natural or human-caused disaster-related stress. Amanda welcomes enquiries and looks forward to discussing whether her approach could suit someone’s current needs.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Amanda draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to guide conversations online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and to take steps that match their values. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships shape current patterns and help people try new ways of relating to themselves and others.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit the person’s needs. Together they will try methods and adjust them if something does not feel helpful, aiming for practical strategies that can be used between sessions.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fewer travel demands, which can make ongoing work easier to manage alongside daily life. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking as the biography does not list them. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use remote work to support continuity, quick check-ins and flexibility for people coping with major disruption or disaster-related stress.
