Amanda Wayling-Yates
Client-centred counsellor for life changes
About Amanda
Amanda Wayling-Yates supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and anger. She also helps with career concerns, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, sleeping and eating difficulties, and coping with big life changes. Amanda works with people facing ADHD, bipolar depression, compassion fatigue and LGBT-related concerns.
Amanda keeps sessions focused and straightforward. She starts by listening closely and helping people say what matters most. From there she works alongside each person to build on their strengths and find practical steps they can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Her approach is based in Client-Centred Therapy, which means she follows the person’s lead and offers acceptance, empathy and gentle challenge. This style suits people who need space to make sense of experiences and to discover their own solutions. Amanda has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential.
She uses that background to offer calm, steady support for both everyday problems and more complex concerns. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to the individual. People can expect attention to practical coping skills alongside exploration of values, identity and relationships.
Amanda encourages small experiments that build confidence and reduce overwhelm.

Sessions & fees
Client-centred support by video and messaging
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping a person find their own solutions. The therapist offers warm, non-judgemental attention and follows the person’s pace so they can make sense of their experiences and try new ways of coping. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, relationship worries, self-esteem and many life changes.Amanda uses that same client-centred attitude when working online, taking time to understand priorities and then choosing techniques that fit the individual. Deciding on an approach is a joint process - the therapist and client review what helps, adjust as needed, and build practical steps together.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat and text messaging make for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection, or a way to communicate when writing feels more comfortable. These options offer flexibility so therapy fits around work, family life and daily commitments.
