About Amanda
Amanda approaches therapy with sensitivity and respect, creating a warm, accepting environment where clients can explore what feels overwhelming at a pace that suits them. She recognises that some people can name the source of their distress while others need help discovering what is contributing to their struggle, and she works collaboratively to build understanding and new perspective.
Her practice aims to empower people to move toward a more fulfilling life by supporting goal setting, developing coping strategies, and strengthening coping resources. Amanda emphasises practical, client-led work so that when someone feels ready, they are equipped to continue forward independently. She is available to support adults dealing with a range of issues, including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, sleep difficulties, anger, career and ADHD-related challenges, and a broad spectrum of related areas.
Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One common strand involves helping people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns so they can manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress more effectively. Another approach centres on emotion-focused work - helping clients understand, process, and tolerate difficult feelings related to grief, trauma, and relationship issues. A third area emphasises skills training - teaching coping strategies for sleep difficulties, anger, attention challenges, and everyday stressors.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amanda works collaboratively with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting techniques over time to find the best fit for the client’s needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, by live chat, or via text-based messaging - allowing people to access support from home or work and to fit therapy around other commitments. This range of options helps make it easier to attend regularly and continue progress even when life is busy or changing.
