Amanda Guest, NCPS

Amanda Guest is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and life changes. She supports those dealing with trauma, low self‑esteem, grief and relationship or intimacy concerns. Amanda also works with issues such as ADHD, depression, bipolar and career-related strain. She practices with a focus on the person in front of her and values a respectful, collaborative approach.

Amanda uses short, direct conversations to help people identify what matters to them. She encourages practical steps and clear goals rather than long technical explanations. Sessions are intended to feel like a joint effort where the person’s priorities lead the way.

Her background includes eight years working in counselling settings across the UK. Amanda holds NCPS, which is listed as her credential. That experience has given her exposure to a wide range of concerns from addiction and domestic violence to caregiver stress and eating issues.

In the counselling room she draws on several approaches including attachment work, client‑centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. These methods help with patterns in relationships, negative thought cycles and managing upsetting feelings. Amanda also uses emotionally focused and existential ideas when conversations ask for them.

People who choose Amanda often want straightforward, practical help and a calm, steady counsellor. She welcomes international clients and works with people who wish to make changes, grow, or find steadier ways of coping.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work

Amanda commonly draws on attachment‑based work to look at how past relationships affect current feelings and behaviours. This approach helps when people struggle with trust, abandonment fears or repeating relationship patterns. She also uses client‑centred counselling, which means sessions focus on listening, reflection and following what the person brings to the conversation. That helps people feel heard and decide next steps for themselves.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss which methods seem likely to help and will adjust based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and can change as goals evolve.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they fit more easily around work and family life, reduce travel time and make it simpler to maintain regular appointments. Some formats also allow shorter check‑ins when time is tight or audio‑only conversations when video is not needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to deliver the same therapeutic approaches they offer in person, adapting exercises and conversations to suit the technology and the person’s everyday routine.
