About Amanda
Amanda Wiffen is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, low mood, ADHD, autism, loss and grief. Amanda offers a calm pace and straightforward support for people who feel overwhelmed by everyday pressures.
She focuses on helping people feel more in control of their next steps. Sessions are led by the client’s concerns and move at a pace that feels manageable. Amanda can provide practical resources to use between sessions when that is helpful.
Amanda uses approaches drawn from attachment-based, client-centred and mindfulness work alongside psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas. She aims to understand how past relationships and experiences affect current feelings and behaviour. That perspective can help with patterns around communication, control issues, avoidance and attachment concerns.
In a typical session she listens to what matters most right now and offers gentle ways to practise new responses. This might include attention to thoughts and bodily sensations, reflecting on relationship patterns, and short exercises to try between appointments. Her style is straightforward and practical rather than technical.
People often bring issues such as parenting strain, caregiver stress, codependency, body image, or workplace difficulties. Amanda also supports those coping with abandonment, separation or bereavement. She works in English and does not take international clients at present.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Amanda draws on attachment-based work, client-centred methods and mindfulness to support people in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with trust, avoidance and closeness issues. Client-centred work prioritises the person’s own goals and pace, letting them lead what to talk about while the counsellor reflects and clarifies. Mindfulness techniques focus on noticing thoughts and bodily feelings, and using simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and preferences. That choice is reviewed as therapy proceeds so techniques can be adjusted if something does not feel helpful.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around daily life and keeping contact without travel. Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Registered or accredited professionals often offer flexible arrangements to balance appointments with work, family and other commitments.
