About Amanda
Amanda Webster is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She welcomes people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, and major life changes, including those navigating midlife shifts. Amanda also supports neurodivergent clients and members of the LGBT community, including people going through transition. Amanda holds the NCPS credential.
Amanda aims to make sessions feel calm and straightforward. She keeps the space non-judgemental and open so people can talk honestly about what matters to them. Practical steps and small routines are often part of her work, such as breaking tasks into simpler parts and building short, manageable self-care habits.
Her practice draws on several well-known approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps spot and change thinking patterns that feed stress and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people to notice difficult feelings while choosing actions that match their values. Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas shape how she attends to relationships and the therapeutic connection.
Amanda often offers short, actionable strategies for day-to-day life alongside deeper conversations. She may suggest small behavioural experiments, simple breathing or movement breaks, and clearer boundaries around work and rest. These are framed around each person’s goals and situation.
She works collaboratively, focusing on what the person wants to change and what feels realistic. Amanda encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes, and she supports clients as they try new ways of coping and living.

Therapeutic approaches and online working
Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that are easy to understand. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural changes to improve mood and reduce anxiety. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult feelings, clarify what matters to them, and take steps that match their values rather than being driven only by emotion.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will talk through options and test methods collaboratively, adjusting what she uses to match someone’s goals, needs and preferences. The aim is to agree on practical steps that fit the person’s life and values.
Please confirm the formats offered for sessions before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. These practical benefits can help people maintain consistency and apply what they learn between sessions.
