About Amanda
Counsellor Amanda Lacey is registered with NCPS and has three years of professional work in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, family concerns, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Amanda works with straightforward, conversational sessions to identify what is causing difficulty and what might help next.
She uses practical approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness to look at patterns of thinking and daily habits. She also draws on Narrative and Existential methods to explore personal meaning and values. Sessions are about talking through problems and trying things that can make everyday life easier.
Amanda pays attention to relationship and attachment issues. She can support people dealing with abandonment, communication problems, family problems, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress. She also addresses body image, guilt and shame, impulsivity and difficulties linked to antisocial personality features.
In a typical session she listens, reflects and suggests small experiments or mental shifts to test between sessions. She aims for clear steps clients can try between appointments, such as thought records, grounding exercises or short mindfulness practices. Progress is reviewed together so plans can be adjusted.
Sessions are carried out within the UK counselling context. Amanda works in English. If you want to talk about arranging a first meeting, use the site button to see online counselling options and complete the short matching questionnaire before booking.
How her therapeutic approaches work in online counselling
Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and small behaviour changes. CBT often focuses on practical steps such as testing anxious predictions or changing routine behaviours to reduce worry and improve mood.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to build simple attention and grounding skills. Mindfulness practices can help with stress, rumination and problems with sleep or concentration by training steady attention to present moment experience.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they agree which methods to try and review how those approaches fit the client’s life and aims.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel or family arrangements, and it can reduce time spent travelling. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or audio-only sessions to make meetings easier during a busy day, while others use longer video meetings for in-depth work.
