About Amanda
Amanda Wiggs is an AASW social worker with 15 years of experience working with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and life changes. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted or disconnected from themselves. Amanda supports clients navigating the effects of past trauma, relationship strain and the practical burdens of caregiving.
Her style is calm and collaborative. She listens to what matters most and helps people identify patterns that make daily life harder. Sessions are practical and paced to what the person can manage right now.
Amanda draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, trauma responses and mood concerns. She uses approaches that aim to help regulate the nervous system, build coping strategies for stress, and work through attachment or family of origin issues. These methods are used to reduce distress and increase manageable options for everyday life.
She has experience supporting people affected by domestic violence, dissociation, chronic illness and caregiver stress, as well as first responder and veteran issues. Amanda also works with concerns such as guilt, shame, abandonment and forgiveness where these link to current difficulties.

Practical therapy approaches and remote sessions
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce anxiety and help process traumatic experiences. One approach focuses on nervous system regulation through body-aware methods that help lower arousal and ease overwhelm. Another approach uses acceptance and behaviour-focused strategies to build flexible coping skills and reduce avoidance in everyday situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will work together with the client to identify which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative selection happens in early sessions and can be adjusted as things change.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can attend from wherever they are in Australia. Therapists will aim to match the approach to practical needs and to how someone prefers to engage with therapy.
