About Amanda

Amanda Le Tissier is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 25 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, addiction, anger, low self-esteem and relationship problems. Amanda describes herself as an integrated therapist who draws on several approaches to help people move forward.

Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Analytic Therapy alongside other methods. She also practises inner child work and draws on techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, DBT and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relevant. Sessions tend to focus on practical strategies alongside looking at past patterns that keep people stuck.

Her way of working treats the client as the expert in their own story. She helps people identify strengths they already have and build new skills for managing mood, anxiety, cravings and difficult relationships. She also supports people coping with major life changes and long-term health or caregiving stress.

Having lived through trauma and loss herself, Amanda says this shaped her decision to become a therapist. She offers conversations that combine practical tools with attention to emotional patterns. Her aim is to help clients make steady changes they can use day to day.

She provides sessions by video, telephone or live chat and messaging. Before booking, clients are invited to check the current session options and follow the site process to match with her and schedule a first appointment.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches for remote sessions

Amanda often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred ideas in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and building practical tools to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression and stress. Client-Centred elements emphasise listening to the person’s experience and working at a pace that feels manageable, useful for people dealing with grief, low self-esteem and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, what has helped before and practical preferences, and will suggest ways of mixing methods to suit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as sessions progress.

She offers sessions by video, telephone or live chat and messaging; check the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health limits, and allow shorter check-ins or longer therapeutic conversations as needed. Clients are encouraged to think about which format feels most manageable for them and to raise any practical concerns when they schedule the first appointment.
