Amanda Wild is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship strain and low self-esteem. Amanda also guides those coping with life changes, parenting pressures and career worries.

Amanda explains problems in simple terms and focuses on what feels most helpful now. She combines gentle listening with practical steps. Sessions can look at past experiences that still matter today, and at small changes that make daily life easier.

Background and approach

Her background includes eight years working in short-term and longer-term counselling. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she follows for professional practice. This experience includes supporting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse.

Amanda draws on a mix of therapy styles depending on each person’s needs. That might mean exploring core beliefs, reflecting on life meaning, or trying a few focused coping strategies. She explains options and helps clients choose what to try first.

People often come for help with family conflict, parenting strain, eating and body image, ageing concerns, and issues around sexuality. Amanda pays attention to feelings like guilt, shame and emptiness, and to practical problems like blended family arrangements or separation. Sessions aim to be straightforward and paced to the individual.

Amanda encourages small, manageable goals alongside deeper conversation. Her approach is flexible so people can work by phone, video, live chat or messaging depending on what fits their week.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Amanda commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping a person feel understood so they can find their own solutions; it suits issues like low self-esteem, identity and relationship stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and introduces practical steps to change those patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. Amanda will talk through ideas with each person, try different ways of working, and adjust based on what feels helpful. The aim is to match the method to the person’s goals and circumstances rather than forcing a single style.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions are an option when a video link is not practical or to save bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection and flexible timing. These options offer practical ways to keep continuity and access support from wherever someone is located.
