About Amanda

Amanda Salvara is a counsellor who brings five years of practical experience supporting people across the United Kingdom and internationally. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Amanda focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression, and she also helps people facing trauma or difficult life changes.

She works in an adaptable, person-focused way. Sessions begin by looking at where someone is now and where they want to go.

Background and approach

Amanda notices patterns of thought and behaviour that might be holding someone back and helps identify small changes to try. Amanda blends approaches to suit each person’s needs. She uses clear tools from cognitive behavioural work alongside acceptance-based strategies and mindfulness exercises.

This mix aims to make feelings easier to manage and to build practical coping skills. In conversations she aims to be curious and non-judgemental. The process is collaborative - the person sets the pace and goals.

Amanda also pays attention to cultural background and life context when helping someone make sense of their situation. Practical matters are part of the work. Amanda helps people map options, practise new ways of relating, and set achievable steps between sessions.

The focus can be recovery, building resilience, or adjusting to major life shifts, always grounded in what the person values and hopes for.

How Amanda’s approaches work online

Amanda uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then taking actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns.

The choice of approach is worked out together. Amanda treats the process as collaborative and will help clients test which methods suit their goals and preferences. She matches exercises and pacing to each person’s needs and adapts techniques over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can suit short check-ins, frequent support, or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and different time zones, while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical skills.
