Amanda Wiffen, BACP

Amanda Wiffen is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with adults managing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting pressures, low mood, trauma and grief. Amanda also supports people coping with ADHD, autism-related challenges and life changes that feel overwhelming.

Amanda uses a direct and steady style in sessions. She lets people set the pace and focuses on practical ways to feel more in control. She can suggest resources and short exercises to use between meetings when that is helpful.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred work. That means attention to how early relationships shape current reactions, and a focus on the person's experience in the room. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas also inform her listening and the questions she asks.

Amanda often helps people untangle communication problems, loyalty conflicts in blended households, and the strain of parenting alongside other responsibilities. She also supports those facing loss, workplace stress and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to clarify problems and identify small steps that fit everyday life.

People can expect straightforward conversation, practical suggestions, and occasional written resources. Amanda describes her role as a guide rather than an instructor, supporting people to make choices that feel manageable. If someone wants to explore how therapy might fit their situation she asks for a brief initial match and a first session to begin planning next steps.
