Amanda Romano Gutierres is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She holds BACP registration, which reflects her standing with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Amanda aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for people who are feeling overwhelmed.

Amanda helps people facing stress and anxiety. She also supports those who have been affected by trauma and abuse. Many come to her for help with low self-esteem, depression, motivation and confidence.

Background and approach

Her approach is practical and tailored. Conversations are shaped around each person's needs and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Amanda often works with people to build small, manageable steps so progress feels achievable.

She pays attention to attachment issues and the patterns that keep people stuck. Forgiveness and self-love are also areas she explores with clients when those topics feel important. Amanda has experience with concerns related to narcissism and post-traumatic stress.

Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client. Amanda encourages people to recognise the courage it takes to seek help and aims to make the first steps straightforward.

Practical therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Amanda uses evidence-based techniques that focus on understanding and changing patterns that cause distress. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and then practises alternative, healthier ways of responding; this can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach centres on processing past harm and its effects, helping people recognise how past trauma influences current feelings and relationships and learning ways to move forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best with their goals and preferences. She will adjust techniques as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant and helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls suit longer, face-to-face conversations; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited; live chat can be good for quick check-ins; and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress.
