Amanda Wiffen
Calm guidance to feel more in control
About Amanda
Amanda Wiffen offers calm, practical support for people facing stressful life moments. She talks things through at the client’s pace and helps them find ways to feel more in control. Amanda aims to make sessions straightforward and down to earth so someone worried on their phone can understand the next steps.
She uses a client-centred style that keeps the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. That means conversations are led by what matters most to the client, with the counsellor listening and reflecting rather than directing.
Background and approach
Amanda also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships can shape current patterns and reactions. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage stress, anxiety and low mood through simple awareness practices. Trauma-focused and psychodynamic approaches are also available when exploring painful past events or deeper emotional patterns feels useful.
Amanda can suggest short exercises or resources to use between meetings if that would help progress. Her experience includes supporting people with relationship and family strains, parenting pressures, grief and life changes, workplace stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD and autism-related concerns. She works from the United Kingdom and communicates in English.
Amanda is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has three years of professional experience and uses session formats that fit different needs, including video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging.

How Amanda’s approaches work online
A client-centred approach means sessions focus on what the person brings each week. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows the client’s lead to help them make sense of difficult feelings and decisions. This style supports people feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start.Attachment-based work looks at patterns from past relationships that affect current life. Talking about those patterns can help someone understand why they react in certain ways and try different ways of relating. Mindfulness offers simple practices to reduce immediate stress and increase calm awareness during busy days.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss goals and preferences with the person and try methods that feel most helpful. She can adapt the balance of listening, reflection, practical exercises or mindfulness as therapy progresses.
Online formats provide practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for fuller interaction, while phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and easier during a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options help fit therapy around everyday life and make it easier to keep momentum between sessions.
