About Amanda
BACP. 3 years experience. Amanda Wiffen works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, parenting concerns, low mood, trauma and grief, ADHD and autism-related challenges. She practices in the United Kingdom and provides counselling in English.
Amanda describes herself as someone who works at each person's pace and offers room to explore difficult feelings. She aims to help people feel more in control of their future and can suggest resources to use between sessions. Her role is described as a guide while a person navigates overwhelming moments.
Her practice covers a broad range of difficulties including stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family and parenting struggles, low mood, trauma and abuse, grief, and workplace problems. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, communication problems, body image and caregiver stress among others. The list also records work relating to ADHD and autism spectrum concerns.
Amanda draws on several counselling approaches to inform sessions. These include attachment-based work that looks at how early relationships affect current feelings, client-centred methods that prioritise the person's experience in the room, mindfulness strategies to manage intense emotions, psychodynamic ideas about patterns from the past, and trauma-focused approaches for those affected by abuse or loss.
Sessions are described in straightforward terms and Amanda can offer practical resources between meetings if helpful. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Amanda works with attachment-based and client-centred approaches alongside mindfulness techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and helps when trust, closeness or repeated patterns are a problem. Client-centred counselling focuses on the person in the room, using reflective listening so people can clarify what matters to them. Mindfulness strategies teach simple exercises to manage strong emotions, reduce stress and support clearer thinking.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss a person's needs, goals and preferences and agree on which methods to use. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as sessions progress.
The practical format for sessions should be confirmed before booking. The therapist's profile does not specify which session types are provided, so please check available options when you arrange an appointment. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time so people can schedule sessions around work or family commitments.
