About Amanda

Amanda Thomson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who draws on four years of professional experience. She offers straightforward, compassionate support for people feeling overwhelmed, stuck or uncertain about next steps. Amanda treats each person with respect and adapts sessions to fit individual needs and goals.

She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, and talk through relationship and family concerns. She also supports those dealing with depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related worries, sleep problems, anger, career stress and ADHD.

Background and approach

Her practice includes work with a wide range of additional issues such as attachment concerns, body image, chronic illness, and sexual diversity matters. Amanda aims to create a warm, accepting space where people can explore what is causing distress. Sessions move at a pace set by the client and focus on practical ways to gain perspective and make changes.

Plans are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all, with the client’s priorities guiding what comes next. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works in English. Amanda believes taking the first step takes courage, and she offers steady support while people build skills and confidence to move forward.

People who choose to work with her can expect clear, direct conversation and a focus on achievable goals. The intention is to help people feel more able to cope day to day and to find a clearer path ahead.

How Amanda uses practical approaches online

Amanda works with accessible, evidence-based techniques that help people make changes in daily life. One common approach is short-term problem-focused work that identifies specific difficulties and builds steps to manage them. This helps with stress, sleep problems, anger and immediate relationship issues. Another approach is grief- and loss-focused support which helps people process bereavement and find ways to adjust without rushing the experience.

Finding the right way of working is a shared process. Amanda discusses different approaches with each person and together they decide what feels most useful. Goals, preferences and how someone responds to early sessions guide any adjustments to the plan so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less data and can fit a short break at work. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options give flexibility for different routines and rhythms while keeping the focus on clear, goal-led counselling.
