Attachment-informed, person-centred and solution-focused online care
Amanda draws on attachment-based principles to explore how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and emotional responses - this can be useful for people dealing with abandonment, intimacy issues, or recurring relationship difficulties. She also uses client-centred therapy, offering a compassionate, non-judgemental space where the client’s perspective and goals guide the work and personal strengths are highlighted. Solution-focused techniques complement these approaches by identifying practical steps and short-term goals to create forward movement when clients want targeted change.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amanda works collaboratively with each person to identify which combination of methods best fits their needs, preferences and goals, adjusting the focus as progress unfolds and new priorities emerge.

These options make it easier for people to access support from home or work and to continue therapy during life changes, while allowing registered professionals and therapists to tailor session length and format to individual circumstances.
