About Amanda

Amanda Wayling-Yates is a counsellor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes. She works with clients on anger, motivation, confidence and issues around eating and sleeping. Amanda frames the first step towards change as a courageous decision and offers steady support along the way.

Amanda uses a client-centred style that treats each person as the expert on their own story. Sessions focus on listening, clarifying what matters to the client and building on existing strengths. The pace is guided by the client's needs rather than a fixed agenda.

With six years of professional experience she has supported people through grief, trauma and relationship concerns. She also works with issues such as ADHD, workplace stress, and women's health concerns. Her approach aims to reduce overwhelm and create clearer options for daily life.

Amanda holds NCPS, which is given here as the credential listed in her background. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers work in English. Practical aims in sessions include improving coping skills, building self-worth, and increasing confidence in everyday situations.

People who come to Amanda often want straightforward, calm support and a space to talk through next steps. She helps clients identify small, manageable changes and stays focused on what the client wants to achieve.

How client-centred work fits with online counselling

Amanda uses a client-centred approach, which focuses on listening closely and following the client's priorities. This way of working helps people feel heard and supports them to use their own strengths to deal with issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes.

Her practice aims to be collaborative. She will work with each person to find the best way forward, discuss what matters most, and adapt sessions to the client's goals and preferences. Deciding on methods and pace is a shared process rather than a set rule.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose arrangements that work with their daily routine, such as scheduling around work or childcare commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can help you weigh practical choices and find a session pattern that suits your life.
