Background and approach
Amanda blends approaches depending on what a person needs, using techniques that help with thinking, meaning and present-moment awareness. Amanda has three years of professional experience and holds NCPS. That credential is shown here as supplied.
She practises in the United Kingdom and carries those local perspectives into her work. In a meeting with her, people can expect straightforward goals and simple tools to try between sessions. Conversations can include looking at unhelpful thinking, telling the story of a problem to see it differently, and using mindful attention to reduce reactivity.
The focus is on small, achievable change. Her approach is collaborative. Amanda helps people set realistic, step-by-step aims and reviews progress together.
She aims to leave people with clearer choices and skills they can use after therapy ends.

Approaches and how online sessions help
Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills you can use between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve mood.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach ways of paying calm attention to the present moment. Mindfulness can help reduce reactivity, manage stress and improve focus in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss goals, preferences and needs and help choose methods that suit the person. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility and different ways to meet. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to use video or who have less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging can work for quick check-ins, short reflections or people who find writing easier than speaking.
These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and to use formats that feel most comfortable while working on concerns such as anxiety, grief or low self-esteem.
