About Amanda
Amanda Bouvier is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She works with adults and teenagers on issues such as anxiety, depression, stress and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing grief, parenting strains, ADHD and the emotional impact of caregiving.
Amanda sees people who are dealing with attachment or abandonment wounds and those managing life transitions. She has worked with clients from diverse ethnic backgrounds and with members of the LGBT community. She has substantial experience supporting people after the death of a human or animal loved one.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Sessions centre on naming difficult emotions, noticing interaction patterns, and trying new ways of responding. Practical strategies are used alongside talking and reflection to help people cope day to day.
Amanda has particular experience with autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and often helps clients untangle how these affect stress, sleep and concentration. She also supports those facing body image concerns, chronic illness, cancer related challenges and caregiver strain.
She offers one-to-one, couples and family sessions and aims to make the first contact straightforward. Prospective clients are invited to reach out and complete an initial matching questionnaire before booking a first appointment.
How Amanda integrates EFT, ACT and CBT online
Amanda draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work with hard-to-identify emotions and interaction patterns. EFT is often used when emotions and attachment needs shape how people relate to others, and it can help clarify those patterns in sessions.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to valued actions. ACT offers practical exercises for coping with anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy provides techniques to identify thinking patterns and develop healthier habits for sleep, eating and daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss the methods that might fit a person's needs and preferences, and make decisions together about what to try in sessions. This collaborative process helps shape what happens from week to week.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time.
