How her approaches translate to online therapy
Amanda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose small actions that match their values. This approach often helps when anxiety, low mood or life changes make it hard to move forward.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments that change behaviour and mood. CBT is useful for sleep and eating problems, anxiety and low mood where everyday habits keep difficulties going.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means the therapy can change as needs shift over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video offers a face-to-face feel, phone can suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, live chat works for people who prefer typing and messaging allows ongoing brief contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study or caring responsibilities and to keep continuity when life is busy.
