About Amanda
Amanda Salvara is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years of practice supporting people in the United Kingdom and internationally. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Amanda uses an integrative approach that draws on several evidence-based methods. She takes time to understand where someone is now and what they want to change. Conversations look at recurring thoughts and behaviours, and the links between events and how a person responds.
The work blends short-term, goal-focused techniques with skills for handling distress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps with unhelpful thinking and practical problem solving. Mindfulness-based ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are also used to increase awareness and clarify personal values.
Amanda also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation and on client-centred principles that emphasise the client's perspective. This lets sessions shift between skills practice and exploring deeper themes such as attachment, shame, or past trauma when needed.
Typical topics covered include abandonment and attachment issues, body image and self-love, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, post-traumatic stress and money or midlife concerns. She aims to help people build clearer ways of coping and to make changes that fit their life circumstances.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Costs vary with location and sessions run on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Amanda applies therapy approaches online
Amanda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises that target everyday problems like social anxiety or low mood. ACT emphasises noticing thoughts and feelings, clarifying personal values and taking small, value-guided actions even when feelings are difficult.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the early sessions. She works with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, and adjusts techniques as progress is made. The process is collaborative and focused on what helps day-to-day functioning.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, avoid travel, and use shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows practical skills practice between meetings and a steady rhythm of support while someone balances other commitments.
