About Amanda

Amanda Balaam uses a client-centred, attachment-aware way of working to help people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She aims to make sessions straightforward and calm. Amanda communicates with warmth and patience so people can speak openly about difficult feelings.

Amanda has practised for 17 years in the United Kingdom. Her experience covers grief, trauma, addiction, intimacy and sleeping problems among other issues. She also helps with career worries, self-esteem, parenting strain and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with long-term mood difficulties and life transitions. Amanda draws on Attachment-Based approaches alongside client-centred and solution-focused ideas. That means she pays attention to patterns in close relationships, listens without judgement, and helps people set small practical goals.

Sessions are focused on what feels most useful to the person in front of her. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP, and holds an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling. Amanda describes her role as listening, reflecting, and helping people find workable next steps for day-to-day life.

Practical matters are handled simply. Amanda offers conversations by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. People are guided through a short matching questionnaire to begin and then book at times that fit their schedule.

How attachment and solution-focused work online

Amanda uses Attachment-Based ideas to notice patterns in close relationships and how they affect feelings and reactions. This approach helps people understand why certain situations trigger anxiety or withdrawal and supports changes in relating to others.

She also follows a client-centred way of working that puts the persons experience first and values listening without judgement. Solution-Focused Therapy is used alongside this to set small, practical goals and find steps that make daily life easier.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amanda works collaboratively to identify which combination of listening and practical work best fits a person's needs, goals and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust the plan as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for fuller conversations, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, live chat and messaging can be shorter check-ins or a way to reflect between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
