Amanda Le Tissier
Experienced therapist focusing on practical change
About Amanda
Amanda Le Tissier uses a blend of talking therapies to help people tackle stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She is NCPS credentialed, and has 25 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. Amanda keeps sessions straightforward and practical.
She aims to help people build small habits that make everyday life easier. Amanda draws mainly on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centred principles.
Background and approach
She offers ways to notice unhelpful thoughts and to practise different responses. Sessions often involve setting small, manageable goals and trying things between meetings to test what helps. She has a long history supporting people with trauma, abuse, grief and loss, as well as addiction and anger.
Amanda also works with sleep problems, low self-esteem, motivation and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include body image, attachment issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Amanda says she became a therapist after working through trauma and loss in her own life, and she uses that experience to inform her practice.
She describes clients as the experts in their stories and aims to collaborate rather than direct. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Amanda is based in the United Kingdom and conducts her work in English.
The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.

Sessions & fees
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online therapy
Amanda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when working online. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with clear exercises and tools that suit video or phone sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and small steps towards those values, using practical exercises that can be tried between appointments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda listens to each person’s situation, goals and preferences and then recommends a way forward. She views therapy as a collaborative process and will check in to adjust methods as needed so the work fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online care is offered by video call, telephone, live chat or text messaging to make scheduling easier and to suit different needs. Video calls let people use worksheets and see non-verbal cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can be useful for short check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options aim to make regular sessions more achievable around work, family life and other commitments.
