About Amanda

Amanda uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person's own experience. She encourages straightforward conversation about what feels hard. Sessions are paced to the individual and aim to make it easier to speak about difficult thoughts and feelings.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns. These include depression, grief, eating and anger issues, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD and career worries. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment and caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, jealousy, isolation and questions about life purpose and money.

Amanda's practice includes work with multicultural concerns, LGBT matters, forgiveness, guilt and shame, narcissism, and the practical impacts of divorce or separation. She describes problems plainly and helps people talk through what matters most to them. Her style is conversational and focused on the client's own goals.

Client-centred approaches and online therapy

Amanda primarily uses Client-Centred Therapy. This approach focuses on the person's own experience and aims to give them more space to describe feelings and thoughts. It can help with anxiety, stress, relationship worries and coping with life changes.

The right approach is something the therapist and client decide together. Amanda will talk about goals, preferred ways of working and what feels most helpful. She adapts the pace and focus based on each person's needs and feedback.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work, study or family life, and can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video when that suits the person better. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to keep regular contact and support progress without requiring in-person appointments.
