About Amanda
Counsellor and BACP member, Amanda Wiffen has three years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting pressures, low mood, ADHD, autism, loss and grief. Amanda uses a calm, steady approach and invites people to set the pace of sessions.
Amanda works in a direct, conversational way. She listens to what is worrying you and helps you name what feels out of control. She can suggest simple resources to use between sessions if that would help. Sessions aim to make everyday difficulties feel more manageable rather than to rush change.
Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred ways of working. That means she pays attention to patterns in relationships and tries to be present to each person's concerns. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with stress and concentration, and psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches when past events are influencing current feelings.
Sessions are offered in English and Amanda works with adults in the UK. She does not accept international clients. Costs vary with location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Confirm the current session formats before booking.
People usually start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then booking a first session. Amanda will discuss what you hope to achieve and agree how to proceed in the opening meetings.
How Amanda uses therapy approaches online
Amanda draws on attachment-based work to look at patterns in relationships and how they affect feelings today. This approach pays attention to past and present connections and can help with relationship and family concerns.She also uses client-centred methods, which focus on listening and following what the person brings to the room. That approach supports people who want a calm, conversational space to speak about stress, parenting pressures or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative decision and can be reviewed as you go.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, cut travel time and keep appointments brief when needed. They also allow for quieter surroundings, less camera use or shorter check-ins to suit a work break or a tight schedule.
