About Amanda

Amanda Webster is a counsellor registered as NCPS with four years' experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, depression, and life changes. Amanda also focuses on neurodivergence including ADHD and autism, and she offers support to members of the LGBT community during transition.

Her sessions begin with listening to what matters most to the client. She uses everyday language and practical steps to make overwhelming problems feel more manageable. Amanda often suggests breaking tasks into small steps, short breathing breaks, and clear end-of-day boundaries to reduce overwhelm.

She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. These approaches shape how she explores feelings, identifies unhelpful thoughts, and practices small behaviour changes between sessions. The emphasis is on noticing patterns and trying different ways of responding.

Amanda works with a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including relationship struggles, intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting stress, career worries, chronic pain and caregiving strain. She also attends to attachment issues, body image, and aspects of sexual culture such as kink when relevant.

Sessions are conversational and practical. The counsellor combines reflective listening with clear suggestions and exercises to try between meetings. International clients can be seen and sessions are provided in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work

Amanda commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to attend to difficult emotions and relationship patterns. EFT helps name and track emotional responses so they become easier to talk about. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to small, value-based actions. Attachment-Based ideas inform how she looks at patterns that began in early relationships and affect current connections.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative step. The counsellor will discuss what feels most useful based on a person's needs, goals and preferences, and may combine techniques from different approaches. Clients and the therapist plan together which methods to try and review what helps.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm what is available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins at busy points in the day, or making sessions possible when being on camera isn’t ideal. Registered and accredited professionals can tailor online sessions to focus on exploring feelings, practising behavioural steps between sessions, and tracking small changes over time.
