About Amanda
Counsellor Amanda Guest is a UK counsellor and a member of NCPS with eight years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self esteem and other common concerns people bring to counselling. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Amanda focuses on helping people talk through the problems they find hardest to face. She works with issues such as relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting strain, grief and career pressures. She also supports people dealing with eating concerns, bipolar and depression, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is collaborative. She listens to what each person wants to change and then works alongside them to try different ways forward. This may include looking at thoughts and behaviours, exploring attachment patterns, or using emotion-focused techniques.
Amanda also pays attention to patterns that can keep problems repeating. She will notice communication and control issues, codependency or avoidance, and address those in sessions. Practical coping strategies and clearer decision-making are common aims.
She describes her work as respectful and individualised. People who meet with her can expect a straightforward conversational style, with practical steps when they are useful. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session via the online counselling options button.
Therapeutic approaches and doing counselling online
Amanda uses a mix of methods in her work. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships affect current bonds and reactions; it can help with intimacy, abandonment and communication problems. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and making the pace fit the person; it supports people working through low self esteem, life changes and grief. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviours and is often used to tackle anxiety, depression and unhelpful coping such as substance use.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda will work together with each person to decide which ideas to try first, based on their goals and what feels most helpful. This can mean blending approaches over a few sessions until a good fit is found.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the available session types before booking. Many people choose online counselling because it can fit around work and family commitments, make shorter check-ins possible and remove travel time. Online sessions can also allow quieter surroundings, reduced need for large bandwidth, or a way to meet when distance would otherwise prevent it. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to help make counselling easier to attend.
