Amanda "Mandy" Roberts
Calm, person-centred counselling for life challenges
About Amanda
Amanda "Mandy" Roberts helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those coping with sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Mandy works with a wide range of life challenges including career change, trauma and abuse, and LGBT and family-related issues.
Mandy has 14 years of experience as a counsellor and holds the NCPS credential. Her way of working is flexible and centred on the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to match what someone needs in the moment, whether that is practical skills or time to sit with difficult feelings. In live work she often uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural tools to help people feel steadier. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are offered to build tolerance for uncomfortable emotions.
When appropriate she may draw on attachment-based thinking to look at longer-standing patterns. Mandy sometimes creates short meditations and practical exercises for between sessions. She aims to help people spot repeating patterns, name underlying feelings, and take small steps that feel manageable.
The emphasis is on rebuilding resilience and making changes that stick. Her style is calm and empathic. People can take their time and move at their own pace.
Sessions can be paused or stopped whenever the person chooses, and the work is shaped around individual goals and preferences.

How Mandy blends approaches for online therapy
Mandy works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in ways that translate to online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and supports taking valued action even when emotions are hard to face. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and can help people understand how past bonds affect present connections and reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mandy will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then agree a plan together. That collaborative process means approaches can shift as needs change, mixing skills practice with space to process feelings.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for conversations that benefit from visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is low or for shorter check-ins, and chat or messaging can fit around busy days or support people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into everyday life.
