About Amanda
Amanda Guest is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and life changes, and she also supports those dealing with relationship, family and intimacy-related issues. Amanda lists codependency among her focus areas and helps people who find themselves putting others first or losing their sense of self.
Amanda prefers a straightforward, person-focused way of working. She gives people time to talk and reflects what she hears back so they can see patterns and make practical changes. Sessions look at thoughts, feelings and relationship patterns rather than relying on labels.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice. That means attention to how early relationships shape current responses, alongside a focus on the person's own aims and pace. Amanda also uses cognitive behavioural strategies to help change unhelpful thinking and emotionally-focused techniques to address painful relationship dynamics.
People who come to her often want help with boundaries, coping around someone else's substance use or strong moods, or rebuilding confidence after loss or separation. Conversations can include practical steps for saying no, noticing triggers, and trying different ways of reacting to stress.
Amanda works collaboratively and will check in about goals and next steps as therapy progresses. She accepts clients from outside the UK and conducts sessions in English. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Amanda uses attachment-based work and client-centred methods to explore how relationships shape emotional responses and what a person wants to change. Attachment-based work looks at patterns learned in early relationships and how they affect current trust, closeness and boundary issues. Client-centred practice focuses on the person's goals and pace, offering space to reflect and decide what matters most.She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. CBT techniques can be useful for reducing anxiety, managing cravings, and practising boundary-setting in everyday situations. Choosing a primary approach is collaborative - the therapist will talk through options and test what feels most useful as sessions progress.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around life commitments, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid being on camera if that helps. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find these practical benefits help maintain consistency and make it simpler to work on codependency, anxiety and addiction-related goals alongside daily responsibilities.
