She also supports people navigating grief, eating concerns, anger, ADHD and other life changes.
Amanda uses a client-centred approach that focuses on what each person brings to sessions. She listens to how concerns affect daily life and reflects what she hears so people can make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions aim to be straightforward and to focus on practical steps as well as on understanding emotions.

She is familiar with issues such as attachment and abandonment, caregiving stress, communication difficulties and the impact of narcissistic relationships.
Amanda also works with people on career and money worries, life purpose questions, and cultural or LGBT-related concerns. She helps clients talk through guilt, shame, jealousy and isolation, and supports coping with separation and divorce.
Her way of working is steady and person-led. She encourages clear goals and reviews progress together. People are invited to raise practical constraints so sessions fit around day-to-day life.
How Amanda uses client-centred work online
Amanda works from a client-centred viewpoint. This approach means the focus is on the person's experience. The counsellor listens and reflects so feelings become clearer. It can help with anxiety, depression, relationship problems and coping after trauma.Client-Centred Therapy aims to make it easier for people to speak about hard things. The therapist follows what the client brings and helps them set practical goals alongside emotional understanding. This approach is helpful when someone needs time to find their own solutions rather than being given directives.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Amanda will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt sessions based on the client's needs and preferences. She works collaboratively to agree aims and review progress as therapy continues.
