About Amanda
Amanda Kwesiga offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people who feel overwhelmed. She meets clients with warmth and straightforward support. Sessions focus on listening, understanding and helping people move forward in ways that suit them.
Amanda is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She uses a client-centred way of working that puts the person's experience at the core. This means she follows your pace and helps you find your own answers rather than telling you what to do.
How Amanda works
Her practice includes work with stress, anxiety, depression and addictions. She also supports people affected by trauma and abuse, including experiences of domestic violence, stalking and coercive control. Amanda has experience with grief that is often overlooked by others, and with issues such as shame, isolation and questions about life purpose.
Sessions can help when relationships feel strained, when parenting becomes overwhelming, or when life changes leave you unsure what to do next. Amanda keeps regular reviews so the work stays relevant to your goals. She will draw on additional approaches when these might help alongside a client-centred stance.
Based in the United Kingdom, Amanda has three years of professional experience. She offers appointments by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. The first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a session that fits your schedule.

How client-centred therapy works online
Amanda practises client-centred therapy, which means she listens carefully and reflects back what she hears. This approach helps people who want to be heard, make changes, or work through past experiences by exploring their own thoughts and feelings at their own pace.She also draws on other helpful elements when needed to respond to specific problems such as trauma or addiction. Those additions are used alongside the client-centred stance rather than replacing it, so the work remains focused on your priorities and experience.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will talk with you about your goals and preferences and adapt the way she works to suit what you need. Together you will review progress regularly and decide if different techniques could help at any stage.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let you meet face to face when travel is difficult. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a short break. Live chat or text messaging can work for brief check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable than talking. These options make it simpler to arrange regular sessions that fit around work, family and other commitments.
