About Amanda
Amanda Guest is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, parenting strain and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, eating issues, anger, bipolar and depression.
Amanda uses a collaborative style. She treats each person as an individual and helps them focus on the areas they want to change. Sessions are practical and conversational. The aim is to build clearer thinking and more useful ways of coping.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred principles to explore how relationships affect feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when helping people understand and name strong emotions.
She also brings elements of existential thinking to conversations about meaning and direction in life. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when recovery from addiction or making behaviour changes is a priority. Amanda says she enjoys working as part of a collaborative counselling relationship.
Practical issues such as caregiver stress, communication problems and managing life changes are often part of sessions. She can help people work through parenting strain, intimacy-related issues and challenges around divorce or separation. International clients may be accepted, and sessions are offered in English.

How sessions work
How Amanda uses therapeutic approaches online
Amanda commonly uses attachment-based work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and responses, which can help when patterns of closeness or distance cause distress. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours to reduce anxiety, low mood or self-critical thinking.She also draws on client-centred principles, which mean sessions aim to follow the persons priorities and pace. Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the issue at hand, and adjust the focus as needs and preferences become clearer.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family routines, shorter breaks at work and long-distance arrangements. It can also allow for quieter check-ins when less time is available. Many people find this flexibility helps them keep therapy consistent alongside everyday commitments.
