How Amanda’s approaches work online
Amanda draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small practical changes. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers concrete techniques to reduce worry and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss what feels most useful and tailor methods to a person’s goals and preferences. She aims to make decisions about methods a collaborative part of therapy rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people access regular support without long travel or rigid scheduling.
