About Amanda
Amanda Wayling-Yates helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, and issues with motivation. She also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges around sleep or eating. Amanda works with concerns linked to mood such as depression and bipolar, and she can help with ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Amanda uses a client-centred approach that puts the person at the heart of each session.
How Amanda works
She listens without judgement and follows the pace set by the client. Sessions focus on practical steps and on recognising strengths that can be used to move forward. Over six years she has built experience supporting people through major life changes and workplace stress.
She also has experience related to identity and sexuality, including LGBT matters, and a range of interpersonal difficulties such as communication problems and blended family issues. Additional areas she addresses include panic, self-harm, dissociation and body image concerns. Amanda holds NCPS as a credential, which is recorded here as provided.
She practices in the United Kingdom and offers work informed by her clinical experience rather than by rigid techniques. Her style is warm and non-directive, aiming to help people feel heard and clearer about next steps. People who work with Amanda can expect calm listening, questions that help make sense of problems, and a focus on small changes that add up.
She aims to make the first steps easier and to support clients as they try new ways of coping.

Online support options
Client-centred care online and how it helps
Amanda practises client-centred therapy, which means sessions focus on the person's experience. A counsellor listens attentively, reflects what they hear and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach suits people working through anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship stress and coping with life changes.Using a client-centred lens, the therapist works collaboratively to identify what matters most to the client. Together they choose goals and decide which ways of working feel right. Finding the best approach is part of the process and the therapist will adapt to the client's needs, goals and preferences as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video calls let people use face-to-face discussion when desired. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who find writing helps them express themselves. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and everyday life.
