About Amanda
Amanda Thomson is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, depression, sleep disruption, anger and related concerns. Amanda also supports clients facing issues around identity and sexuality, career stress, and neurodiversity questions such as ADHD and autism.
Her practical approach focuses on clear conversations about what feels overwhelming. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep problems going and then try different ways of responding. Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand their reactions and build more helpful habits.
She pays attention to relationship dynamics and intimacy issues, including commitment and attachment concerns. Where trauma or abuse is part of a person’s history, she works at a pace that acknowledges that impact while helping clients regain a sense of control over daily life.
Amanda is experienced in addressing body image, codependency and difficulties connected to chronic illness or ageing. She is also familiar with alternative sexual cultures, including BDSM and kink, and how those intersect with wellbeing.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Clients are invited to set practical aims like reducing outbursts, improving sleep, or managing workplace frustration. The emphasis is on steady, manageable steps rather than quick fixes.
How sessions work
Approach and online working
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and changing responses. One common approach she draws on helps people spot automatic thoughts and behaviours that escalate anger, then practise alternative reactions in everyday situations. This method is useful for workplace frustration, conflict at home, and habitual resentment that builds over time.Another approach she may use concentrates on attachment and relationship dynamics. This looks at how past relationships shape reactions now and helps people experiment with different ways of connecting and communicating. It is often helpful for intimacy-related issues and recurrent arguments with partners or family members.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods fit their goals and preferences. She treats the process as collaborative, adjusting focus as needs change rather than sticking to a single technique.
The biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or a session that avoids travel time. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to practical constraints while keeping a steady focus on the client's goals and day-to-day improvements.
