About Amanda

Amanda Webster is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and addictive behaviours. She also supports neurodivergent people, particularly those with ADHD and autism, and members of the LGBT community who are going through transition.

Amanda makes space for open, non-judgemental conversations where people can speak honestly about what they are living with. She draws on a mix of practical methods to match each person’s needs, and encourages small consistent changes that add up over time. Simple strategies she often suggests include breaking tasks into small steps, taking regular short breaks, and setting clearer end-of-day boundaries to reduce overwhelm.

In sessions she aims to be straightforward and grounded. People can expect to talk through immediate concerns and to work on practical skills for managing emotions, relationships and daily routines. She pays attention to attachment patterns and how these affect current relationships and self‑esteem.

Amanda holds the NCPS credential. She works with a broad range of concerns including grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stress, career questions, chronic illness and caregiver strain. Her background includes supporting people with complex needs such as co-morbidity and attachment issues.

Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients follow a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to available times.

Step 3

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work

Amanda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and to choose actions that match their values. This can help with anxiety, depression and getting unstuck from old patterns.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current trust and closeness. That work can be useful for people who struggle with intimacy, relationship strain or self‑esteem issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The therapist's profile does not specify session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to have a shorter check-in during a work break or a longer focused session without commuting. Online conversations can also allow for flexible pacing, use of worksheets and real-time practical exercises that translate into everyday life.
