Amanda Walsh
Calm, practical support for everyday struggles
About Amanda
Amanda Walsh draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety and the effects of trauma. She works with a wide range of concerns including sleep problems, low self-esteem, addiction issues and mood instability. Amanda is a BACP counsellor with eight years of practice supporting people through difficult life changes.
She talks simply and directly in sessions. Amanda aims to make it easy to describe what is happening and why it is hard.
Background and approach
She offers practical strategies for coping, alongside time to revisit painful events at a pace that feels safe. Amanda also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related worries, grief, career strain and LGBT-related concerns. She has particular experience with obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviours and hoarding tendencies, and she will work alongside someone to reduce their impact on daily life.
Sessions combine emotional reflection with straightforward tools. Amanda helps people build routines for better sleep, manage overwhelming feelings and set small, achievable goals. She listens for patterns that maintain problems and suggests concrete steps to change them.
Her approach is collaborative. Clients and Amanda set goals together and review progress regularly. Practical homework and simple behavioural experiments are used when they suit the person’s aims and lifestyle.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Amanda uses core evidence-based techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building new habits. One common method helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against everyday evidence, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach focuses on changing behaviours through small, practical steps such as sleep routines or graded exposure to feared situations, which can ease compulsions and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will talk with each person about their goals, challenges and preferences, then try methods that feel like a good fit. She reviews progress and adapts the work over time so the approach matches changing needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is useful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, reflection between sessions and people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping consistent momentum.
