About Amanda
Amanda Walsh is a counsellor who focuses on practical, evidence-based therapeutic work to relieve distress. She offers calm, straightforward support for people struggling with anxiety, low mood, trauma, sleep problems and issues that affect daily functioning. Her approach is conversational and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people make small, useful changes that add up over time.
With eight years of experience, Amanda has helped people with a wide range of concerns.
How Amanda works
These include stress, depression, addictions, bipolar difficulties, ADHD and challenges around self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating difficulties, anger, career stress and life transitions. Amanda pays particular attention to obsessive behaviours, compulsions and hoarding.
She uses techniques that target patterns of thinking and behaviour so people can reduce distress and take back control. Sessions typically involve setting clear goals, practising strategies between meetings and reviewing what works. Her work is inclusive of LGBT issues and explores how identity, relationships and social pressures intersect with mental health.
She also draws on experience helping people cope with trauma and abuse in ways that feel manageable and paced for each person. Sessions are offered from the United Kingdom and Amanda works with English-speaking clients, including people outside the UK. She explains the steps to begin and what to expect, so people can decide if the approach feels like the right fit.

Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy helps
Amanda uses evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Cognitive-style approaches help people notice and challenge thoughts that keep anxiety and low mood going, and then try different ways of responding. Behavioural strategies help with sleep, compulsions and habits by introducing clear, manageable steps and routines.She also works with interventions that address trauma and emotional regulation. These approaches help people make sense of difficult experiences, learn coping skills and build tolerance for strong emotions in a paced way. They can be useful for grief, abuse, anger and intimacy-related problems.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text-based messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life, while still receiving regular professional support.
