About Amanda

Amanda "Mandy" Roberts is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious or depressed. She also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and codependency concerns. Sessions use straightforward language and focus on what is happening now.

Mandy works in a person-centred way, which means conversations follow the individual’s pace and priorities. She often begins with present-day difficulties and uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness to help people feel steadier. Where helpful, she may explore longer-standing patterns through attachment-focused approaches.

Her sessions aim to make difficult feelings clearer. That might involve noticing thoughts and reactions, trying small behavioural changes, or practising short meditations between meetings. She describes this as learning to sit with uncomfortable feelings rather than avoiding them.

Mandy also uses ideas from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people connect with their values and take manageable steps in those directions. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are sometimes offered when emotion regulation or intense reactions are an issue.

People are invited to move at a comfortable pace. Some sessions stay focused on current problems, while others gently look back to find repeating patterns. The emphasis is on practical change over time and on building more dependable ways of relating to oneself and others.

How sessions work

How Mandy uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions

Amanda often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her online work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and for making steady changes in relationships. Attachment-based work looks at repeating patterns from past relationships and how they affect current connections, which can help with intimacy issues and codependency concerns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods, and adapt what they do together. That collaborative process helps pick techniques that suit the person and the problems they bring to sessions. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by removing travel time and allowing appointments from different locations. They also allow flexible check-ins, shorter sessions when needed, and easier scheduling around work or caregiving commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can use a mix of conversation, guided exercises and brief between-session tasks to support steady progress online.
