About Amanda
Amanda Romano Gutierres is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety and depression, and supports those coping with trauma and abuse. Amanda also helps clients build self-esteem, confidence and motivation.
She speaks English and Portuguese and adapts her approach to each person's needs. Her work is grounded in practical conversations tailored to the person in front of her.
How Amanda works
She listens for what matters most and helps clients set manageable goals. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings, as well as understanding how past experiences affect current feelings. Amanda pays particular attention to attachment issues and to helping people heal from post-traumatic stress.
She also offers support around forgiveness, self-love and understanding relationships affected by narcissistic behaviour. Her aim is to help people regain a sense of control and calm. She treats the first step of seeking help as important and often difficult.
Amanda designs a plan with each client and adjusts it as progress is made. Conversations are framed so people can use what they learn in day-to-day life. Work is offered through a mix of online formats, so sessions can fit into varied schedules.
Amanda describes herself as respectful, sensitive and compassionate, and she focuses on making the process straightforward and accessible.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding how past experiences shape current feelings. One approach helps people work through traumatic memories by gently processing what happened and reducing the hold those memories have on daily life. Another approach concentrates on building self-esteem and self-love through exercises that change negative self-talk and strengthen positive habits.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Amanda will listen to your concerns, discuss different techniques, and agree a plan that matches your goals and preferences. She adapts methods as progress is made so work stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can suit those with less bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or fit short conversations into a busy day. These options help make regular contact easier to maintain alongside everyday commitments.
