Background and approach
She also supports people living with chronic illness and those caring for loved ones. Amanda uses a blend of well-established approaches tailored to each person. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and acceptance and commitment methods to help people live according to their values.
She also brings attachment-based perspectives to understand relationship patterns and emotionally-focused ideas when there is pain around closeness. Sessions aim to be practical and focused. Amanda helps people name the problem, try small changes, and build skills to cope day to day.
She is comfortable talking about sensitive topics such as trauma, bereavement, miscarriage and experiences of abuse. If you want a therapist who explains things plainly and works at your pace, Amanda aims to provide that steady support.

How Amanda works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adapt methods to meet individual goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client choose ways of working together that fit the person's needs.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or between commitments. Practical benefits include being able to join from different locations and trying shorter check-ins when needed. The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can help people apply these approaches effectively through remote sessions that aim to be focused and practical.
