About Amanda
Amanda Walsh BACP has 8 years of counselling experience and practises in the United Kingdom. She works with people on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, low self-esteem, depression and addictions. Amanda also supports clients with relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating difficulties, anger, career changes, bipolar disorder, ADHD, hoarding and obsessive-compulsive behaviours.
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand what is keeping them stuck and to try different ways of coping. Sessions are conversational and practical, focusing on the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that are causing distress. She explains concepts plainly and helps people try small changes between sessions.
Her approach aims to make difficult topics easier to talk about. Amanda helps people look at patterns in relationships and behaviour, and at how past events continue to affect daily life. She gives clear feedback and works with each person to set manageable goals for therapy.
Sessions may cover problem-solving for sleep and routines, strategies for reducing anxiety and panic, and ways to manage compulsive behaviours and hoarding urges. For people facing loss or identity questions, she offers time to process feelings and to consider practical next steps.
Clients who choose to work with Amanda usually start by describing their current concerns and their hopes for counselling. She asks about what has helped and what has not, then agrees a plan for the next few sessions. If you want to check session options and costs, confirm current details before booking.
How Amanda applies evidence-based approaches online
Amanda works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Cognitive approaches look at unhelpful thinking patterns and teach practical strategies to reduce anxiety and depression. Behavioural techniques support changes in routines and habits, which can help with sleep difficulties and compulsive behaviours.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Amanda collaborates with each person to identify goals and to try methods that suit their situation. She reviews what is and is not helping and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without video when bandwidth is low. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use these flexible arrangements to help people continue counselling when in-person visits are difficult.
