Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Counselling

Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's needs. She works with structured, goal-focused techniques that help people identify patterns, develop coping skills, and address symptoms of stress, anxiety, low mood, and sleep difficulties; these approaches are practical and often include steps you can try between sessions. She also applies trauma-informed and attachment-aware methods that emphasise safety, pacing, and understanding the impact of past experiences on relationships and emotional responses - useful for people coping with trauma, relationship struggles, or attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amanda collaborates with clients to clarify goals, assess what works best, and adjust the plan over time so therapy fits personal preferences, circumstances, and outcomes the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access registered professionals from home or wherever is convenient. These formats offer flexibility around work, family, and mobility, and allow people to engage in regular sessions without lengthy travel, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
