Amanda Bouvier welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn. She writes in a straightforward way and aims to make first contact easier for anyone worrying about stress, anxiety, grief, low mood, or relationship and intimacy concerns. Amanda offers calm, practical support for common day-to-day struggles and life changes.

Amanda has 15 years of therapeutic experience. She uses a mix of approaches to suit each person’s needs, including cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance-based work.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what is happening now, and on small, useful steps people can try between meetings. Her background includes helping people with the challenges of ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, parenting strain, carer stress, and complicated grief after the loss of a person or a pet.

She also supports those facing body image and eating-related worries, workplace pressure, and the emotional impact of chronic illness. Amanda works with people from a range of cultural and sexual identities, including those in the LGBT community. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.

That means she is listed with a national professional body. In sessions Amanda aims to build understanding and practical tools. Conversations are honest and paced to what each person can manage.

She helps people spot unhelpful patterns, try alternatives, and take clearer steps toward how they want life to be.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online therapy

Amanda commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT helps people test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or manage sleep and eating difficulties.

She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while choosing actions that match your values. ACT can help with stress, chronic illness, and the hard feelings that follow loss or life transitions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Amanda will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. That keeps therapy flexible and focused on what actually helps the individual.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a face-to-face feel and for doing exercises together. Phone sessions can be lighter on tech and easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, noting thoughts between meetings, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties, study or travel.
