About Amanda
She emphasises the shared human side of therapy and the courage it takes to seek help. Amanda has undertaken substantial training and continues with therapy and regular supervision as part of her professional development. Her membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) is noted on her profile.
Amanda works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also helps people facing relationship and intimacy issues, family of origin questions, and life changes such as separation or midlife shifts. Eating and food-related issues, body image and sexuality are included among areas she addresses.
Her approach brings in psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to look at patterns and deeper meanings. Elements of client-centred and existential therapy keep sessions focused on the person and their choices. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are affecting present life.
In practice Amanda aims to open up experiences gently. Sessions can include talking, working with dreams or imagery, and reflecting together to find different viewpoints. She sees therapy as a collaborative process that supports people to increase self-understanding and make changes that matter to them.
How Amanda's approaches shape online therapy
Amanda uses client-centred work to focus on the person's immediate concerns, offering a respectful space where the client's voice guides the pace and topics. This helps with stress, anxiety and self-esteem issues by emphasising listening and collaboration.She also draws on psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to explore life patterns, dreams and symbolic material. Those approaches can help when recurring relationship difficulties, attachment issues or body image concerns feel stuck and a deeper understanding is wanted.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss different ways of working and help identify which combination suits a person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs evolve.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. If you need shorter check-ins or a session that does not require video, mention this when you match so options can be discussed. Confirm current session formats before booking to ensure they meet practical needs and expectations.
