About Amanda
Amanda Wayling-Yates is a counsellor credentialed in the UK with six years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and confidence, and those coping with life changes. Amanda also supports people concerned about relationships, family matters, parenting, grief, trauma and mood issues such as depression and bipolar.
Amanda uses a client-centered approach that puts the person's own perspective first. Sessions focus on listening, clarifying what matters, and helping clients identify their own strengths. Conversations are straightforward and practical rather than medical or technical.
She helps people talk through everyday pressures and the decisions that follow. That can mean working on how someone reacts to anger or stress, or building confidence at work and home. Amanda pays attention to how problems affect day-to-day life and looks for simple steps that make a difference.
For people dealing with parenting strain or family problems, Amanda offers a space to sort competing demands and consider different ways forward. She also works with clients on issues around intimacy, eating and sleeping difficulties, and compassion fatigue.
Clients can expect a calm pace and an emphasis on their own goals. Amanda sees the person as the expert in their story and aims to help them use existing strengths to manage challenges. She invites people to take practical first steps and then reassess what comes next.
How sessions work
How Amanda uses client-centred work online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without directing and helps the client find their own answers. This approach suits people who want help clarifying values, making decisions, or building confidence in daily life.Working online, Amanda treats finding the right therapeutic approach as part of the work. She will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt the sessions to the client's goals and preferences. That means deciding together whether to focus on managing anxiety symptoms, addressing family tensions, or improving coping with life changes.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting conversations into busy days and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, fit a session into a lunch break, or meet when juggling parenting responsibilities.
