Amanda Wayling-Yates , NCPS

Amanda Wayling-Yates is a counsellor with six years of practice in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, motivation difficulties and life changes. Amanda works from a belief that clients are the experts on their own stories and already have strengths to draw on. She welcomes conversations about career worries, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma, and women’s issues.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions centre on listening, reflecting and helping people notice what is getting in the way of the life they want. Amanda uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a space where someone can talk things through at their own pace and try out new ways of thinking or acting.

She has supported people with eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, depression, bipolar symptoms, panic and social anxiety, and challenges linked to workplace stress and parenting. Amanda also addresses complex feelings like guilt, shame, emptiness and dissociation. Her practice includes help for those dealing with trauma, abuse and compassion fatigue.

Amanda describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set practical goals and notices progress in small steps. Sessions can include short practical exercises, reflective conversation and planning for changes between meetings.

Sessions are offered in English and take place through online formats. Amanda works with adults seeking clearer thinking, improved coping and steadier emotional balance. Taking that first step is framed as courage, and she aims to provide steady support along the way.

How Amanda’s Client-Centred Approach Works Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and reflecting what the client is saying. The therapist offers empathy and non-judgemental presence so people can explore feelings and make their own choices. This approach is helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.

The process of finding the right approach is collaborative. Amanda will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and adapt how sessions run. Together they decide what feels most helpful and make small plans to try between meetings.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is easier. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, reflective writing and people who prefer typing to speaking. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, parenting and daily life while keeping regular contact with a therapist.
