Amanda Guest

Amanda Guest is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on eating and food-related issues alongside a wide range of mental health concerns. She works with people dealing with anxiety, stress, addictions, trauma, low self-esteem and depression. Amanda aims to give each person respectful space to talk about what matters to them and to begin making changes at a pace that feels manageable.

She uses a collaborative style in sessions, treating clients as partners in the process rather than telling them what to do. Conversations are practical and down to earth, with a focus on what the person wants to change. Amanda emphasises motivation and building confidence as part of that work.

Over eight years she has supported people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting strain, caregiver stress and ADHD among other concerns. She also works with issues such as body image, codependency, and coping after separation or domestic violence. This variety shapes a flexible approach in sessions.

Amanda practises from a client-centred stance and draws on attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused methods. She aims to tailor these approaches to each person’s goals and preferences. The focus is typically on small, practical steps alongside exploring emotional patterns.

If someone is unsure how to begin, Amanda suggests a short conversation to discuss needs and next steps. Prospective clients are invited to use the site’s matching process to connect and then book according to available times.

How Amanda’s approaches work in online therapy

Amanda draws on client-centred counselling which focuses on listening, reflecting and following the client’s lead. This approach helps people feel heard and lets them set the agenda for change. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns, which can help with intimacy, codependency and relationship worries.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used alongside these approaches to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical experiments. CBT-style steps often suit issues like anxiety, stress, eating-related behaviours and low mood because they break problems into manageable pieces.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss preferences, goals and what has worked in the past to shape therapy together. She aims to match methods to the person rather than applying a single model.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, and can reduce time spent commuting. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that better fits a person’s routine.
