About Amanda
Amanda Guest is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and major life changes. She also works with concerns such as depression, bipolar mood challenges, parenting strain, codependency and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Amanda uses a respectful, person-centred approach and frames therapy as a collaborative process.
She believes people do best when given space and respect to explore what matters to them. Sessions focus on practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes. The work is shaped around each person’s goals and pace, not a fixed script.
Amanda draws on approaches such as attachment-based methods, client-centred talking and cognitive behavioural ideas to help with thinking patterns and emotional responses. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and existential perspectives also inform how she helps people make sense of relationships and life direction.
Across eight years of practice she has supported clients with grief, eating concerns, substance issues, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. She emphasises clear communication and a calm, collaborative counselling relationship.
To begin, Amanda invites people to take a first step and match with her through the site’s process. She aims to help clients identify small, achievable changes and build on them over time.
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online therapy
Amanda commonly works from attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice, with cognitive behavioural tools included. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationship patterns shape current feelings and responses, which can help with intimacy, trust and codependency concerns. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping the person set the agenda for the work. Cognitive behavioural techniques address unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills for anxiety, low mood and addictive behaviours.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Amanda aims to decide collaboratively which methods suit a person’s goals, needs and preferences. She will adapt the mix of listening, emotional work and practical exercises as sessions progress so the client feels involved in planning their steps forward.
The therapist’s biography does not name specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use different techniques at home, such as worksheets or behavioural experiments, while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
