About Amanda
Amanda Le Tissier is a counsellor with 25 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She works with clients who are coping with grief, trauma and loss, addictions, sleep problems, anger and low self-esteem. Amanda practises in the United Kingdom and uses an integrated style that adapts to each person.
Amanda draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Analytical Therapy as core ways of working. She also uses elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to suit individual needs. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside chances to make sense of patterns from the past.
Her approach is client-centred. Amanda believes people already have many strengths and that change grows from those strengths. She explains things simply and helps people set small, achievable goals so progress feels manageable day to day.
Amanda also works with themes such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and communication problems. She supports people dealing with chronic illness or caregiving stress and helps those facing major life changes to find new ways forward.
Practical arrangements can include video, telephone or live chat and messaging. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to what suits them. Amanda aims to be a steady companion through recovery and change.
How Amanda uses therapy approaches online
Amanda often combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when working online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people put words to feelings and improve how they express needs in relationships.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice difficult feelings and commit to actions that match their values. Choosing the right approach is collaborative: Amanda will talk through options, try techniques together and adapt the plan as goals and preferences become clearer.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. The biography notes that video, telephone and live chat or messaging can be used, so check which formats are offered when you sign up. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, shorten travel time and allow brief check-ins from a lunch break or quiet moment. Amanda aims to make sessions practical and manageable so people can apply what they work on between meetings.
