About Amanda

Amanda Wayling-Yates is a counsellor registered with the NCPS in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and life changes, and lists blended family issues among her areas of focus. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, trauma, sleep or eating problems, and workplace concerns.

Amanda uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's experience at the front. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most and looking for practical next steps. Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit the person’s needs rather than following a rigid plan.

She aims to help people notice their own strengths and make manageable changes. Typical topics include emotion regulation, improving communication, adjusting to new household roles, and day-to-day coping strategies. Amanda also works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood difficulties, panic attacks, and compassion fatigue when these affect day-to-day functioning.

People who contact her are usually seeking clear, practical help rather than technical language. She encourages realistic goals and small experiments to test what works. Amanda does not offer legal or custody advice, but she can help clarify feelings and options when family arrangements change.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location.

Client-centred approaches and online sessions

Amanda uses client-centred therapy, which centres conversations on the person's own experience and priorities. This approach focuses on active listening, reflection, and helping someone notice their existing resources so they can make changes that feel manageable. It often helps with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and adapting to new household roles.

Her work emphasises collaboration. She will help the person and therapist decide together which methods suit current goals. That can mean trying small, practical experiments between sessions and adjusting the plan as things change.

Confirm the precise online session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or reducing the need to be on camera. Registered and accredited professionals may use different formats, so check the options available when you schedule an appointment.
