About Amanda

She helps individuals who are navigating addiction, trauma, mood difficulties, relationship or intimacy concerns, and struggles with self-esteem.

Amanda has four years of professional experience. Her credential is NCPS. She draws on a mix of talking approaches aimed at practical change and clearer self-understanding.
How Amanda works
Sessions focus on small, achievable steps and on building everyday habits that reduce overwhelm. Her practice pays attention to neurodiversity and to LGBT concerns, and she often supports people with ADHD and autism. Amanda also works with those facing parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, bereavement, and workplace fatigue.
She takes a broad view of issues, including body image, eating and sleeping problems, and difficulties tied to attachment and abandonment. In sessions Amanda uses acceptance and commitment ideas alongside cognitive and emotion-focused tools. She also draws on client-centred and dialectical methods to help clients manage intense feelings and build more flexible thinking.
The emphasis is on practical techniques you can try between meetings. Her style is warm and direct. Amanda encourages plain talk about what is getting in the way and what small changes might help.
She invites people to try short experiments and to notice what works for them over time.

Online support options
Approaches that suit online therapy
Amanda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that align with their values; it can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Amanda works collaboratively to decide which methods match a person's needs, goals and preferences. She reviews progress together and adjusts techniques so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for longer, reflective sessions while phone sessions can be better when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, jotting down immediate reflections or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and other demands.
