About Amanda
Amanda Wiffen is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works at a pace that suits each person. She aims to help people feel more able to manage day-to-day stresses and to make clearer choices about their future. She is approachable and tries to create a calm space where people can talk things through without pressure.
Amanda offers practical support for worries such as stress, anxiety and low mood.
How Amanda works
She helps people handle relationship and family difficulties, including parenting strain and communication problems. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma and the ongoing effects of abuse. Her approach draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
She uses client-centred methods that focus on the person's own priorities and pace. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with grounding and managing strong feelings. Amanda has three years of experience working with these concerns and holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She can suggest resources to use between sessions, and she stays alongside people as they make changes at their own speed. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Information about pricing is provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online therapy
Amanda uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. This approach helps when people notice repeated patterns in relationships or struggle with trust and closeness. It focuses on understanding those patterns and finding new ways of relating.She also works in a client-centred way, which means she follows the person’s agenda and pace. Sessions aim to be non-judgemental and grounded in what the person feels is most important. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage anxiety and strong emotions through simple breathing and awareness practices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss which methods might help most based on a person’s goals, current difficulties and personal preference. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be useful when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging is helpful for people who prefer writing. These options aim to fit therapy around work, caring commitments and different day-to-day routines.
