Person-centred counsellor offering empathic support
About Amanda
Amanda Kwesiga welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure where to turn. She offers a calm, empathic presence and aims to make it easier to talk about what matters. Amanda is a BACP counsellor with three years of practice in the United Kingdom.
Amanda uses a relational, person-centred style that puts the client’s experience at the centre. She prioritises warmth, non-judgement and listening so people can feel heard and begin to notice what they need.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a pace that feels right for each individual. She supports people dealing with stress and anxiety, depression, grief and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her work also includes help with addiction issues, self-esteem and relationship concerns.
Amanda has a special interest in disenfranchised grief and the pain of losses that are not always recognised by others. Her background includes experience with people affected by domestic abuse, stalking and coercive control, and with those who have had alcohol or drug dependency.
She also offers a space for people to talk about work stresses, faith questions and cultural or multicultural concerns. Amanda believes people are the experts on themselves and helps them find their own understanding. She checks progress regularly and adapts her approach when needed.
Meeting someone where they are and working together towards clearer goals is central to her practice.

Sessions & fees
Person-centred care and online sessions
Amanda uses a client-centred approach that prioritises a trusting relationship and careful listening. This way of working helps people feel understood and supports exploration of feelings, identity and life choices. It is useful for concerns such as low self-worth, grief, and coping with change.She also draws on relational ideas that focus on how connection and patterns in relationships affect wellbeing. That perspective can help when dealing with trauma, attachment issues, or relationship distress. The therapist will discuss what elements of different approaches might help and agree on a plan together.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. Amanda works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and reviews progress regularly. This helps make sure the work stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more visual contact is helpful. Phone sessions suit people who need lower bandwidth or a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life.
