Amanda Thomson uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship strain. She works in a calm, respectful way and aims to make conversations straightforward and useful. Amanda's approach is practical and person-centred, so sessions focus on what matters most to each individual.

Amanda has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She has supported people dealing with depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, sleeping problems and anger.

Background and approach

Her work also covers career worries, ADHD and issues tied to identity, including LGBT matters. She often helps people who are coping with family conflict, blended family challenges, abandonment worries or attachment concerns. Amanda also has experience with physical health related issues such as chronic pain, illness and cancer and how these affect mood and daily life.

Other areas she addresses include body image, codependency and dissociation. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs. Amanda tailors conversations and practical steps so clients can build clearer perspective and everyday coping strategies.

She encourages small, achievable goals and checks progress as therapy continues. Amanda aims to create a warm and accepting space for exploring difficult topics. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose a format that suits their routine and comfort.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Amanda draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach helps people learn skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing exercises, behaviour experiments and gradual exposure to fearful situations. These techniques aim to reduce distress and increase confidence in daily life.

Another approach she uses concentrates on relationships and attachment patterns. This involves looking at how past and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour, and trying new ways of relating that build safety and trust. That work can help with intimacy issues, codependency and family conflict.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Amanda will listen to your concerns, discuss options and agree a way forward that fits your goals and preferences. You can review progress together and adjust the focus as needed so therapy stays relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits short check-ins or written reflection. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around everyday life.
