About Amanda

Amanda Wild is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and eating and food-related issues. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship strain and parenting challenges. Amanda works in a straightforward, compassionate way to help people feel heard and find practical next steps.

Amanda is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP. She trained as an integrative therapeutic counsellor and also provides supervision. Her background includes work with people affected by sexual and domestic abuse.

Sessions can be arranged for shorter-term problem solving or longer-term work, depending on what a person needs. Amanda draws on different approaches so the focus can shift from symptom relief to looking at deeper patterns when that feels right.

In practice she uses listening and collaborative conversation to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping. She explains ideas simply and offers practical tools alongside reflective work about past experiences that still affect everyday life.

Amanda aims to meet people where they are and to pace the work to each person. She invites questions and checks in about goals so the work stays useful and manageable. If you are considering therapy, Amanda encourages a short initial match process to find out if she is the right fit for your needs.

How Amanda's approaches fit online and in-person work

Amanda often blends client-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to combine supportive listening and practical change strategies. Client-centred work focuses on the person's experience and aims to create space to talk openly, which can help with depression, low self-esteem and relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers concrete exercises to reduce anxiety and improve coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. Amanda listens to your goals and preferences, then suggests techniques drawn from her different approaches. That collaborative planning helps the work stay relevant and tailored to your situation.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep continuity of care if they move or travel, while the therapist and client focus on practical steps and reflective conversation rather than logistics.
