About Amanda

Amanda Wild is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has eight years of practice in the UK and offers help with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationships and a broad range of life changes. She also lists blended family issues among her areas of focus.

Amanda works with both short-term and longer-term concerns. Sessions often look at what is happening now and how past experiences are still affecting day-to-day life. She names specific issues such as addiction, anger, eating problems and parenting matters as part of her caseload.

Her style draws on well-known counselling approaches. She uses client-centred ways to follow what the person wants to work on. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot patterns of thinking and test out different responses. Psychodynamic and existential perspectives are available for people who want to look at underlying themes or meaning in their lives.

Amanda notes experience supporting survivors of sexual and domestic abuse. She also lists concerns like body image, self-harm, sexuality and women’s issues among what she works with. This reflects a broad practice rather than one single specialism.

She is described as a therapeutic counsellor and supervisor who follows the BACP Ethical Framework. Practical next steps are simple: complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work

Amanda commonly draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, reflecting the person’s concerns and letting the client lead what to explore next. It suits people who need time to talk things through and decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple exercises to test out new ways of responding, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda will work together with each person to identify which methods fit their needs and goals. That might mean starting with practical CBT tools and adding more exploratory client-centred or existential discussion if useful. The choice is collaborative and reviewed as the work progresses.

The profile does not state specific online formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a weekday or evening routine, avoid travel time and keep appointments brief when needed. They can also allow easier check-ins between longer blocks of work, helping therapy sit alongside busy family life rather than replacing it.
