Amanda Webster , NCPS

Amanda Webster offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life transitions. She makes space for honest talk and practical problem solving. Her manner is calm and direct, aimed at helping clients find manageable steps forward.

Amanda has four years of professional experience and carries the NCPS credential. She works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addictions, mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar, and issues around sleep, eating and self-esteem. She also supports people with ADHD, autism and members of the LGBT community.

In sessions she focuses on what a person needs right now. That can mean learning coping skills, breaking large tasks into small steps, or trying new ways to handle difficult emotions. She often suggests short practical exercises you can use between sessions to build momentum.

Amanda tailors her approach to each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred techniques, as well as attachment-informed ideas and skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Those methods are used to address relationships, intimacy questions, grief, and career or parenting strain.

She encourages a steady pace and realistic goals. Simple routines, clearer boundaries and short reflective practices are common tools she offers. The aim is to uncover strengths and create small changes that add up to better day-to-day wellbeing.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Amanda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her online work. ACT emphasises noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help when making life changes or managing avoidance. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss your goals and preferences, and together you will try approaches that suit your needs. She adapts tools and exercises so they work well in a remote format and checks in regularly to see what helps.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls are good for visual connection and fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when you need flexibility around work or caregiving. These options aim to make consistent therapy easier to fit into everyday life.
