How Amanda works online
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas to break down unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavioural experiments. CBT-style techniques can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep issues and some relationship or work stresses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss goals and preferences and suggest the best blend of person-centred listening, CBT techniques and mindfulness practice. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats Amanda currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it simpler to continue work during life transitions or when juggling work and family commitments.
