Amanda Romano Gutierres, BACP

About Amanda

Amanda Romano Gutierres is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience and a registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with trauma and abuse, and with rebuilding self-esteem and confidence.

Amanda aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She adapts conversations and plans to match what each person needs.

Background and approach

That might mean slow-paced talking for someone processing trauma, or more active problem-solving for stress and low mood. Sessions are meant to feel straightforward and manageable. Amanda listens, helps people name what is happening, and works with them to try new ways of coping.

She offers gentle challenge when it helps and stays with people through difficult feelings. Her approach also pays attention to attachment and how earlier relationships affect current struggles. She supports work on forgiveness, setting boundaries around narcissistic behaviour, and recovering from post-traumatic stress.

Amanda can work in English and Portuguese and uses a mix of talking and practical techniques to help people make changes. She encourages people to take small steps, notice progress and adjust the plan as needed.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life

Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine talking and practical work. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and coping patterns; it helps with anxiety, low mood and daily stress by teaching small, usable skills for calming and problem-solving. Another strand of her work concentrates on processing trauma and the impact of abusive experiences, offering paced support to reduce overwhelm and build a sense of safety in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Amanda works with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan as needs change, so the work feels collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls recreate a face-to-face feel, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during short breaks, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caring duties or study while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
