About Amanda
Amanda Le Tissier is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 25 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief and relationship difficulties. Amanda also helps with low self-esteem, sleep problems, anger and coping with major life changes.
She draws on several approaches in her work, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Sessions are collaborative and practical. Amanda listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating and then helps people try different responses in everyday life.
Amanda describes herself as an integrated therapist who uses interventions from different schools. She also works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and co-morbidity. She supports people dealing with commitment and communication problems, control and dependency struggles, and other personality-related difficulties.
Her personal experience of overcoming trauma and loss informs her work. She encourages clients to recognise the strengths they already have and to build on them. Amanda offers sessions by video, telephone or live chat and messaging; prospective clients should confirm current session options when they book.
Practical steps are emphasised in therapy. Amanda helps people set small goals, try out new ways of reacting and review what works. She explains interventions in clear language and keeps sessions focused on what the client wants to change.
How Amanda applies EFT, ACT and CBT online
Amanda uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify core emotions and the interaction patterns that keep them stuck. EFT focuses on recognising and naming feelings so they can be responded to differently in relationships and personal reactions.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and to practise small, values-based actions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and test practical changes that reduce distress. These approaches can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and coping with loss.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts techniques as you try things out between sessions.
She offers sessions by video, telephone or live chat and messaging, and clients should confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful and remove the need to travel. Registered or accredited professionals like Amanda adapt exercises and homework so the work continues between appointments.
