Amanda Guest supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief and relationship or intimacy difficulties. She also helps with parenting strain, career worries, eating concerns, bipolar and depression, and issues connected to ADHD. Amanda works with people across LGBT matters, compassion fatigue and recovery from domestic violence or substance problems.
Amanda is a counsellor registered with NCPS, and she brings eight years of practice in the United Kingdom.
Background and approach
She aims to give each person respectful space to say what matters most. The tone in sessions is collaborative and straightforward, not clinical or distant. Her approach is flexible and based on what the individual needs in the moment.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationships and on client-centred methods to keep the person’s goals central. Cognitive behavioural tools and emotionally-focused work are used where they fit the problem at hand. Sessions are intended to be practical and conversational.
Amanda helps people talk through patterns, spot unhelpful thinking, and try different ways of coping. She also offers coaching-style support for people who want clearer direction alongside emotional work. Amanda welcomes people from the UK and international clients who prefer remote sessions.
The first steps are simple and practical: a short questionnaire and a chance to schedule according to availability. She aims to make the process easy to begin so people can focus on what brought them to therapy.
Approaches that guide remote therapy
Amanda draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early relationships shape their reactions now. This approach looks at patterns in close relationships and can help with trust, intimacy and repeated conflict.She also uses client-centred therapy, which keeps the person’s experience and goals at the heart of sessions. That means the counsellor listens closely and follows what the client wants to focus on, whether that is coping skills or emotional exploration.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss options and try methods that fit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made and new issues come up, so the process is collaborative rather than fixed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video is useful for a full conversational session, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it straightforward to attend from different time zones or to fit therapy around work and family commitments.
