How Amanda uses talking therapies online
Amanda works with client‑centred therapy, which puts the person's concerns at the centre of each session and relies on listening, empathy and careful reflection to help someone feel understood and make their own choices. This approach suits people wanting to be heard and to explore what matters most to them.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, a practical method that looks at unhelpful thought patterns and tests small behavioural changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and developing new coping strategies for everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and will adapt the style over time in collaboration with the person attending. The aim is to identify what helps in day‑to‑day life rather than fitting someone to a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text‑based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let the conversation feel closer to face to face, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging suit shorter check‑ins or quieter check‑ins during a busy day. These options give flexibility for fitting therapy around work, family and medical appointments.
