About Amanda
Amanda Guest is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and life changes. She also works with concerns such as grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, career struggles, mood disorders, ADHD and eating-related worries.
Amanda aims to offer a respectful space where people can begin to make changes that matter to them. She emphasises a warm, collaborative relationship.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on the person's priorities and pace rather than a fixed agenda. Amanda listens without judgement and helps people identify small, practical steps they can try between meetings. Amanda draws on several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs.
She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. She uses client-centred ways of working to keep the session focused on the person’s experience. Cognitive behavioural techniques are available to address anxious or unhelpful thoughts.
With eight years of experience and the accreditation NCPS, Amanda combines practical support with conversational clarity. She encourages clients to bring what matters most to them and to set goals that feel achievable. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more able to cope.
If someone wants an approachable counsellor who listens and helps plan next steps, Amanda offers that kind of support.

How Amanda works online
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. Amanda works collaboratively to decide what feels most useful, adjusting methods as goals and needs become clearer. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay relevant and practical.
The biography does not specify particular session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. That said, online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find it simpler to attend from a quieter place at work or home, or to use video when they want face-to-face contact and audio when they prefer not to be on camera.
