About Amanda

Amanda Le Tissier is a counsellor and a member of NCPS with 25 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship problems, grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and sleeping difficulties.

Amanda combines approaches from different therapeutic schools. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and elements drawn from Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding patterns that keep problems going.

She describes the client as expert in their own life and works to build on existing strengths. Work in sessions can include looking at thoughts and behaviours, noticing feelings, and practising skills between meetings. Amanda also draws on aspects of Inner Child work where it is helpful.

Amanda has personal experience of loss and trauma which informed her choice of this work. She offers conversations by video, telephone or live chat and messaging. Prospective clients are asked to check the current session options before booking.

Sessions are conducted in English and are based in the UK. Costs vary with location and are billed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as core approaches in her work. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take committed action despite difficult thoughts or feelings.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss what fits your needs and goals and will make decisions with you. That collaborative process helps pick the methods and skills that feel most useful for day-to-day life.

The therapist's biography lists video, telephone and live chat or messaging as session options. If you want to use online sessions check which formats are currently offered before you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or travel. Telephone calls can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth, while video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and messaging can support brief reflections between meetings.
