About Amanda
Amanda Bouvier is a BACP counsellor with 15 years' experience working with adults and teenagers. She helps people manage anxiety, stress, grief and relationship problems, and supports those facing parenting, career and identity questions. Amanda also works with people affected by ADHD, autism spectrum issues and caring responsibilities.
Amanda offers one-to-one work as well as couple and family sessions. She has supported people from a variety of ethnic backgrounds and members of the LGBT community. Her practice includes work with unresolved childhood issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and difficulties that follow bereavement or loss of a companion animal.
In sessions Amanda focuses on clear, practical steps and understanding patterns that keep problems stuck. She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques to notice and change thinking and acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take small actions. Attachment-based and emotionally focused ways of working help when relationship patterns and closeness are the main concern.
Her experience includes helping people who are full-time carers and those facing age-related or life-stage transitions. Amanda has supported people through pregnancy loss and fertility-related grief, and she has substantial experience working with neurodivergent clients, including autism spectrum difficulties and ADHD-related challenges.
She encourages straightforward conversation about what someone needs from therapy and practical ways to fit sessions into everyday life. To begin, visitors follow the site's matching process and book a first session to see how the work might progress.
How her approaches translate to online work
Amanda often uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety and stress. CBT can be useful for people wanting practical tools to manage worry, phobias or sleep problems.She also draws on attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas to look at how relationship patterns affect feelings and closeness. These approaches help when trust, communication or intimacy are part of the difficulty and guide work on improving interactions and emotional responsiveness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit mood, temperament and what feels manageable. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on thinking and behaviour, attachment patterns, or emotional processing.
