About Amanda
Amanda Wiffen offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by change or stress. She meets each person where they are and moves at a pace that feels manageable. Amanda aims to help people regain a sense of control over their next steps and build practical ways to cope.
She works in a warm, down-to-earth style and acts as a guide when life feels confusing. Sessions are a place to talk through worries about work, relationships, parenting, grief, or anxiety.
Background and approach
She can also suggest resources to try between meetings if that would help. Amanda draws on approaches that focus on relationships, the present moment and how past experiences shape current feelings. These ways of working aim to make troubling patterns easier to understand and change.
Therapy conversations are shaped around each person’s priorities and pace. She has three years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, noted as BACP. That connection indicates she follows the professional standards set by the organisation.
Amanda helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, ADHD, family and parenting issues, grief and coping with life changes. People who prefer straightforward, practical support may find her style helpful.

How Amanda works online
Mindfulness ideas are also used to help people notice thoughts and bodily feelings without getting swept away. That can be useful for anxiety, stress, low mood and for learning small practical skills to use between meetings. Amanda combines these ways of working to focus on what the client needs in the moment and what they want to change going forward.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Amanda will work together with each person to identify which methods fit best based on their goals, preferences and life situation. The early sessions are often a chance to try different ways of working and agree a plan that feels practical.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer to stay in familiar surroundings or to use audio-only options when that works better for them.
