About Amanda

Amanda "Mandy" Roberts NCPS has 14 years of counselling experience and is based in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, career questions and depression. Mandy also supports people coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD among other concerns.

Mandy uses a person-centred style that focuses on what is happening now. Sessions often start with present concerns and practical steps to help people feel steadier. She also offers work that looks at deeper patterns when clients are ready to go there.

The counsellor draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioural techniques to build practical skills and clarity. Attachment-based ideas inform how she notices relationship patterns and how those affect feelings. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills may be brought in for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

Mandy sometimes provides short meditations to practise between sessions. She aims to help people identify underlying feelings and learn ways to live with difficult emotions without them taking over. The emphasis is on small, steady changes rather than quick fixes.

Sessions are guided by the client's needs and pace. People can address a wide range of topics from abandonment and body image to divorce, eating issues, fatherhood concerns and forgiveness. International clients may be accepted and sessions are conducted in English.

How Mandy uses evidence-based approaches online

This counsellor commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and values-led action rather than trying to remove difficult thoughts, and can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns formed earlier in life and helps people understand how those patterns affect current connections and reactions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour and is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mandy will discuss goals and preferences with each person and agree on which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use techniques such as brief guided meditations or DBT skills practice between meetings, which can help bring therapeutic tools into day-to-day life.
