About Amanda

Amanda Wayling-Yates is a NCPS credentialed counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and motivation struggles. She also supports people coping with life changes and common mental health concerns such as depression and grief.

Amanda believes clients know their own stories and brings a client-centred way of working to sessions. That means conversations focus on the person's experience, goals, and choices rather than a checklist of techniques. Sessions are straightforward and paced to match what the client can manage in the moment.

In practical terms she helps people talk through stuck patterns, recognise strengths, and try small changes that feel possible. For anger this can look like noticing triggers, exploring what fuels the feeling, and testing different responses in everyday situations. For anxiety and stress she works on clearer thinking, coping strategies, and manageable routines.

Amanda also supports issues that often come up alongside mood and stress, such as relationship problems, workplace pressure, and sleep or eating difficulties. She acknowledges the effort it takes to ask for help and keeps sessions focused on real steps forward.

People who prefer a conversational, person-led approach may find her style helpful. Before booking, clients are encouraged to check current session options and decide what fits their life and schedule.

How sessions work

Client-centred approaches and online working

A client-centred approach places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens, reflects back what is said, and supports people to make choices that feel right for them. This style helps with issues like low self-esteem, anger that builds up, and life changes because it starts from the person's own priorities.

That same conversational method also helps when dealing with stress and anxiety. Sessions focus on helping someone notice patterns, try practical coping strategies, and build on strengths they already have. For anger this might mean testing different responses to triggers and checking what works in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which ways of working to try, based on goals, needs and preferences. This is an open process and can change as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and can reduce travel time. They can also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that suit quieter surroundings or when being on camera is difficult.
