Background and approach

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness and narrative ideas to untangle painful thoughts and habits. She also uses trauma-focused and existential approaches when it helps someone make sense of difficult experiences and find meaning after loss. Amanda is registered NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

She runs sessions in English and meets people online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. People come to her for many concerns besides those above, including attachment or abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication or control problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, fertility issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity and feelings of emptiness.

She helps each person work through the issue that matters most to them. The first meeting is used to understand priorities and make a simple plan. Amanda aims to be practical and steady, helping people take small, doable steps toward clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping.

Online therapy approaches and how they help

Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. CBT is practical and problem focused, so it is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside other methods to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them, which can reduce reactivity and support calmer choices.

The right approach is something to find together. Amanda will listen to current difficulties, goals and preferences and then suggest ways to work that suit the person. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made or priorities change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit during a break. Live chat and text can suit shorter check-ins or moments when writing feels more comfortable. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to use around daily life.
