About Amanda

Counsellor Amanda Webster, NCPS, has four years of professional experience and works in the United Kingdom. She helps people faced with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression and eating or sleeping difficulties. Amanda also lists support around ADHD, autism and LGBT concerns, along with relationship and intimacy-related issues.

Amanda uses practical steps in sessions. She suggests simple routines like breaking tasks down, short breathing pauses, and timed breaks to reduce overwhelm. Sessions are conversational and use methods drawn from several counselling approaches to suit what a person needs in the moment.

Her background includes work with people managing grief, parenting strain, career worries and compassion fatigue. She also notes experience with more complex presentations such as bipolar, attachment issues and co-morbidity. These areas are approached through focused conversations and skill-building rather than quick fixes.

Amanda draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside client-centred and dialectical approaches. That mix aims to help people learn practical coping strategies and to reflect on patterns that keep problems repeating.

Sessions include talking, practical exercises and small homework tasks when useful. Amanda encourages steady, manageable change rather than sudden overhauls. People who want concrete steps and an open conversational style may find this approach helpful.

How Amanda uses therapeutic approaches in online counselling

Amanda works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and take small, values-based steps despite them. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety and life changes when someone wants practical ways to act in line with what matters.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to try out different behaviours. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and many day-to-day coping issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will talk with each person about what feels useful and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. That choice is made together and can change over time as needs shift.

The original profile does not list which online formats are used. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can help fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and make it easier to book shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work if they move location or are arranging support from a distance.
