She emphasises the client’s strengths as a resource to move forward. Clients may explore how early relationships shape current patterns using attachment and psychodynamic ideas. Cognitive behavioural techniques are offered to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours.
When past harm is present, trauma-focused methods help people work through difficult memories in manageable steps. Amanda has five years of experience working in the United Kingdom. Her practice includes supporting people with ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, eating and sleeping issues, anger, career stress and parenting strains.
She also helps with family-of-origin problems, commitment and communication difficulties. Language of sessions is English, and she accepts international clients. Appointments can take place in several formats to suit different needs and schedules.

How Amanda’s approaches work online
Amanda uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps people who struggle with trust, intimacy and repeated relationship difficulties. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours in everyday life. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and problems that respond well to practical skill-building.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will talk through goals and preferences and adapt methods as therapy progresses. Clients are encouraged to feed back on what helps so the plan can be changed to suit their needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls mirror face-to-face meetings when visual contact matters, while phone sessions can fit a short break at work or when bandwidth is low. Live chat and messaging make it easier to check in between calls or to use a written format when speaking is difficult. These options help people keep continuity of care across different time zones and life schedules.
