About Amanda
Amanda Guest is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, eating issues, parenting strain, ADHD and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar. Amanda also works with people facing career stress, compassion fatigue and the impact of major life changes.
Amanda uses a collaborative style. She treats each person as an individual and works alongside them to identify what they want to change. Sessions focus on naming feelings, recognising patterns and finding small, practical steps forward. She emphasises respect and clear communication in the counselling relationship.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred methods. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural techniques and existential ideas when they fit a person’s needs. These approaches are used to explore attachment issues, emotional responses and the ways people relate to themselves and others.
In practice Amanda talks through problems, helps people notice unhelpful patterns, and supports them in developing new coping strategies. She can address issues like codependency, dissociation, domestic violence impacts and substance misuse with this mix of approaches. The aim is to create a steady working relationship that helps people make manageable changes.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Amanda’s approaches work with online counselling
Amanda works with Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify, name and shift painful emotional patterns. EFT often focuses on how emotions shape close connections and how new emotional experiences can loosen old patterns.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at early relationship templates and how they influence present-day responses. Attachment work helps people understand triggers and develop more secure ways of relating. Amanda draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful, person-focused working relationship where a client’s own goals guide the work.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and make a joint decision about which methods to use. That collaborative conversation helps shape what happens in sessions and how progress is measured.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a week, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people choose sessions that suit their comfort with video or phone contact.
