About Amanda

Amanda Guest is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience. She works with adults who want help with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger and other concerns. She supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes.

Amanda focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. She gives people space to describe what is happening and helps them identify clearer choices. Sessions are collaborative - the person and counsellor plan what to try next together.

Her approach draws on attachment-based thinking and client-centred principles. That means attention to how important relationships shape feelings, and an emphasis on listening and reflecting to help people find their own answers. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns of thought that increase distress and to test alternatives.

People come for help with a wide range of issues, including trauma and abuse, eating concerns, parenting stress, career pressures, ADHD and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar. Amanda also works with those coping with bereavement, intimacy-related worries, and compassion fatigue.

She accepts international clients and offers sessions that use a subscription model which can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled via the See online therapy options button. Amanda prefers teamwork in therapy and helps people set practical goals they can use between sessions.

How sessions work

Online approaches and how they help

Amanda uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. This approach is useful when anger or distance shows up in close relationships and when people want a clearer sense of patterns that repeat.

She also works in a client-centred way, which means listening carefully and helping clients find their own solutions. That method supports people who prefer a reflective space to make decisions and try changes at their own pace.

In addition, cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of thinking and acting. CBT-style tasks can help reduce reactive behaviour and improve coping in stressful situations.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The counsellor and client discuss goals, try different methods and agree what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process based on needs and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so please confirm available online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, or reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques for remote sessions so the same core approaches are used in an online setting.
