About Amanda
Amanda Webster is a counsellor registered with NCPS with four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and parenting pressures. She also supports people navigating ADHD, autism, and LGBT concerns, including those going through transition.
She aims to keep sessions straightforward and practical. She often starts by helping people break tasks into smaller steps and try short breathing or movement breaks. She discusses routines that protect time for rest and gradual changes that reduce overwhelm.
In practice she combines approaches from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy, among others. Sessions focus on present difficulties, patterns that maintain problems, and skills to change those patterns. Conversations move between practical strategies and exploring feelings and relationships.
Amanda has experience working with people facing grief, caregiver stress, body-image and intimacy-related issues, and relationship and family concerns. She also supports adults dealing with career stress, sleep and eating difficulties, and chronic health challenges. Her work includes attention to attachment and identity themes that often appear alongside these issues.
People can expect a calm, direct style that prizes clear steps and repeated practice. Amanda encourages small experiments between sessions and reviews what works. She asks about day-to-day routines and relationships to shape goals that fit a person’s life.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Amanda works with methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. ACT encourages noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and choosing small actions that reflect personal values; it can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people change those patterns to improve closeness and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that suit your situation. She will review how strategies feel in daily life and adjust them based on what helps you most.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let people choose quieter times of day or use audio-only calls if that works better for concentration or bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often adapt homework and practical exercises so they work between sessions and in everyday settings.
