About Amanda
Amanda Wiffen is a UK-based counsellor who aims to help people feel steadier and more in control of their lives. She creates a calm space and works at each person's pace. Amanda is warm and pragmatic and will support clients as they find their own way forward.
Amanda offers one-to-one sessions that focus on everyday problems such as stress and anxiety. She helps people who are dealing with relationship tensions, family and parenting worries, low mood, grief, or workplace strain.
Background and approach
ADHD and autism are also among the areas she supports. Her style is gentle and guided. She listens closely and reflects what she hears so people can spot patterns and make different choices.
She can suggest short exercises or resources to try between sessions if that feels useful. Amanda draws on approaches that look at early connections and current reactions, alongside mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas. This mix allows practical steps for coping now while also looking at deeper themes that keep difficulties repeating.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Amanda has three years of practice experience working with people in the UK. Sessions are delivered in English and are offered online using a range of formats to suit different needs.

Therapeutic approaches you can try online
Amanda uses attachment-based work to help people understand how early relationships affect current reactions. This approach can be useful for tackling repeated patterns in relationships and attachment worries.She also draws on client-centred methods that focus on the person's own goals and pace. Sessions using this style prioritise listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use facial cues and body language, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed, and live chat or text messages can suit shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around family, work and daily life while maintaining continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals in the UK.
