About Amanda
Amanda Wild is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years' experience. She sees adults for issues such as anxiety, depression, anger, addiction and trauma, and supports people dealing with parenting pressures and relationship problems.
She offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on what an individual needs. Sessions often look at how past experiences affect present feelings and behaviour. Conversations are practical and aim to identify manageable steps that reduce day-to-day strain.
Amanda blends talking-based methods to suit each person. She uses Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural techniques to notice patterns of thought and try different ways of responding. She also draws on psychodynamic and existential ideas when past events or questions about meaning are part of the issue.
Her background includes supporting survivors of sexual and domestic abuse, and she supervises other counsellors. That experience informs how she approaches difficult material and safety in sessions.
People most commonly bring concerns about parenting stress, relationship strain, low self-esteem, eating issues, grief and midlife transitions. Amanda also works with ageing and blended family issues, sexuality, women’s issues and related areas. She accepts clients in the United Kingdom and from other countries, with sessions conducted in English.
How sessions work
How Amanda’s approaches work for online sessions
Amanda uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as core tools. Client-Centred work focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can find their own solutions. It helps when someone needs space to talk through parenting strain or relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and suggests practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss your needs and try different ways of working together. That means deciding collaboratively whether to focus on changing habits, exploring past events, or a mix of both during sessions.
