Amanda Guest , NCPS

Amanda Guest is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on women's issues among a wide range of concerns. She helps people coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and life changes. Amanda uses a collaborative style and treats each person as an individual. She welcomes international clients and works in English.

Amanda keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She offers a calm space to talk through difficult feelings and to set achievable goals. Conversations often centre on building motivation, improving self-worth, and developing ways to manage intense emotions or unhelpful habits.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings. She also uses client-centred methods that follow the person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when practical steps to change thinking or behaviour will help.

Amanda has eight years of experience and holds NCPS, a credential listed as NCPS. That background supports work with a broad mix of concerns including grief, intimacy questions, eating issues, parenting stress, ADHD and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar disorder.

People who choose Amanda can expect a respectful, team-style counselling relationship. Her focus is on listening carefully, helping clients spot patterns, and finding realistic ways to make small changes. She aims to guide people toward clearer choices and better day-to-day coping.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online

Amanda draws from several well-known approaches that adapt to online work. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect emotions and behaviour, which can help with intimacy issues, grief and trust. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person's pace, letting the client lead sessions while the counsellor offers understanding and reflection. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it suits anxiety, low mood and behaviours related to addiction.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will discuss options, try different techniques, and adjust the plan according to what helps most in real life.

Online sessions offer practical benefits such as flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer to write, need more frequent brief contact, or want a lower-pressure way to communicate between calls.
