About Amanda
Amanda Bouvier is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of practice. She works with adults and teenagers on issues such as anxiety, depression, stress and grief. Her profile lists family and blended family issues alongside concerns like ADHD, attachment difficulties and relationship strains.
She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in sessions. Conversations tend to focus on practical steps, clearer communication and ways to manage difficult feelings day to day. She has experience supporting people after loss, including the death of a companion animal, and with the impacts of long-term caring responsibilities.
Amanda has worked with clients from a range of backgrounds, including people who identify as LGBT. She has supported those living with autism spectrum conditions and ADHD and helps people deal with life transitions such as ageing, adoption or foster-care related concerns. Work-related stress, eating and sleeping difficulties, and intimacy or self-esteem problems are also within her stated areas of practice.
Her way of working draws on client-centred principles and emotion-focused ideas alongside CBT and ACT tools. That means sessions can include exploring feelings about relationships, practicing specific strategies to manage anxiety, and clarifying values to guide decisions. She aims to help people untangle loyalties and boundaries that often come up in blended households.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Amanda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take practical steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. ACT is often useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns that developed in early relationships and how they affect current family interactions. That work helps when loyalties, trust or boundary issues come up in blended households.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, listen to the client's priorities and agree which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and choices can be adjusted as sessions progress.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as this profile does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals including counsellors often adapt tasks and exercises so they work well at a distance, for example using brief behavioural experiments between sessions or practising communication skills in real time.
