About Amanda
Amanda Rowland is an AASW social worker with 28 years of professional experience in Australia. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and eating concerns, and supports those coping with major life changes and compassion fatigue. Amanda speaks English and brings long-term clinical experience to her consultations.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She talks through what is happening now and looks at practical steps to manage difficult feelings. Conversations focus on current problems and small changes that can make daily life easier.
Amanda has supported people facing a wide range of challenges over nearly three decades. That includes issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and caring for someone with chronic illness. She has also worked with people affected by cancer, ageing concerns and blended family stresses.
Sessions often look at patterns that keep worries or difficult coping in place. Amanda pays attention to how stress shows up in thinking, behaviour and relationships. She helps people try new ways of responding and practice these between sessions.
Her work also addresses eating concerns, compassion fatigue and co-morbidity where multiple health issues overlap. People who want to start can expect clear discussion about goals, practical coping strategies and steps to build on progress over time.
Therapeutic methods and how they work online
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on current difficulties and practical change. One common approach looks at patterns in thoughts and behaviours that maintain anxiety and unhelpful habits; it helps people test new responses and reduce unhelpful thinking. Another approach addresses coping with loss and grief through structured conversation and tasks that help people process change and rebuild routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk about the options, check what feels manageable, and agree on goals and steps. This is a collaborative process that adjusts as needs and circumstances change.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are used, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online therapy can make appointments easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means sessions can be scheduled around work or caregiving commitments, which can help keep momentum between meetings.
