About Amanda
Amanda Wild helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction, low self-esteem and difficulties with parenting and eating. Amanda is named at the start so readers know who they would meet.
Amanda is a BACP counsellor. BACP stands for British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She describes eight years of practice, working with both short-term and longer-term needs.
In sessions she aims to create a calm, open space where people can talk about what matters to them.
How Amanda works
She listens without rushing and reflects what she hears to help people notice patterns and choices. Practical strategies are offered when they fit the person and the issue. Her work can include looking at past events that still affect daily life, and finding ways to manage strong emotions in the present.
Amanda draws on a mixture of approaches to match different concerns, from stress and career worries to midlife change and experiences of sexual or domestic abuse. People come for help with specific problems and for broader life shifts. Amanda has supported those coping with grief, shame, control issues, body image and issues related to sexuality and women’s health.
She also works with concerns such as narcissism, self-harm and the impact of blended family dynamics. Her practice is practical and conversational. She will help set goals and review progress so people can see what is changing.
The style is respectful and straightforward, aimed at making therapy useful for day-to-day life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Amanda uses client-centred work to focus on what the individual brings to sessions. This approach means the counsellor follows the person’s pace, listens carefully and helps them find their own answers; it suits people who want a reflective, non-directive space.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviour. CBT is useful for immediate problems such as anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits because it includes practical techniques to try between sessions.
Choosing an approach is a joint process. Amanda will discuss different ways of working and agree on a plan based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. The style can shift over time as issues change or progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible options for fitting work into a busy life. Video calls are close to face-to-face and suit people who prefer visual contact. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier for short check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for ongoing support, quick reflections or when a written record of the conversation helps. Registered or accredited professionals provide these formats so people can choose what works best for them.
