About Amanda
Amanda Thomson is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, or issues around intimacy and codependency. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical steps people can take to feel steadier day to day.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns. She helps people talk through relationship and family difficulties, cope with loss, manage anger and sleeping problems, and understand patterns linked to attachment or abandonment. She also supports people navigating neurodiversity, chronic illness, and sexual subcultures without judgement.
Amanda takes a straightforward approach in sessions. She listens to what is happening now and helps name the habits that keep clients stuck. Conversations lead to small experiments and clearer choices rather than abstract theory. People leave with concrete ideas to try between meetings.
She adapts the way she works to each person’s situation and pace. That might mean focusing on stress management one week and relationship boundaries the next. Amanda encourages practical planning for real-life problems such as setting limits, sleep routines, or coping with difficult emotions.
If someone is unsure where to begin, she uses simple assessments and talking to clarify priorities. The emphasis is on learning skills that make everyday life more manageable, and on building confidence to make changes that matter.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is behavioural work which looks at everyday habits and routines. This helps with sleep problems, anxiety and making small changes that improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach is attachment-focused thinking which helps people understand patterns in close relationships and why they might put others first. That can be useful for people noticing codependency or difficulty saying no.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and agree what to try first based on the client’s goals and what feels most helpful. Sessions are collaborative and may shift as new priorities emerge.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations without travel. Registered or accredited professionals often use video or phone to reduce travel time and make scheduling more flexible, but please check which formats this therapist currently offers before you schedule.
