About Amanda
Amanda Wayling-Yates is an NCPS-credentialed counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and life changes. Amanda focuses on practical support and clear conversation rather than medical labels.
She sees each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions concentrate on what is happening now and on building the client’s own strengths and choices. Amanda encourages steady steps and aims for conversations that feel doable for someone who finds social situations or change difficult.
Her approach is grounded in client-centred therapy, which means she follows the client’s lead and responds to the concerns they bring. That can include talking through coping strategies for panic or social anxiety and working on practical ways to manage stress at work or home.
Amanda has experience with a wide range of issues, from relationship and workplace difficulties to grief, trauma, and sleeping or eating concerns. She also offers support around identity issues, including LGBT matters, and neurodiversity-related topics such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
Sessions are aimed at helping people clarify goals and try out small changes between meetings. Amanda explains options simply and checks in about what is helpful. The focus is on steady progress and on giving clients usable tools for day-to-day life.
How client-centred approaches work online
Amanda uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening carefully and following the client’s lead. In practice this means sessions concentrate on what the client brings up and on strengthening their own decision-making and coping skills. This approach can help with anxiety, social fears, stress and relationship concerns. Client-centred work tends to be conversational. The therapist reflects back what she hears and helps the person clarify their priorities. That can make it easier to spot small, practical steps to try between sessions and to adjust the work as needed. Finding the right approach is something to work out together. Amanda will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then choose how to proceed with the client. That collaborative process helps tailor the focus without promising a specific outcome. Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins if needed. It can also let people choose sessions that suit their energy level, for example a phone check-in if video feels tiring.Areas of expertise
