About Amanda

Amanda Le Tissier is a counsellor with 25 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship difficulties. She also supports those coping with trauma, loss and grief, low self-esteem and problems with motivation and confidence.

Amanda practises as an integrated counsellor and draws mainly on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Analytic Therapy. She also uses techniques from Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when helpful. Amanda says clients bring many of their own strengths, and she aims to build on those resources during their work together.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions involve talking through current difficulties, learning simple techniques to manage distress, and trying out different ways of responding to recurring patterns. Amanda describes the therapeutic relationship as a partnership where the client is the expert on their life and the counsellor offers guidance and structure.

Amanda also has experience with issues such as sleep difficulties, anger, caregiver stress, body image concerns and age-related worries. She mentions work with people who struggle with attachment, codependency, commitment and communication problems.

She lists her credential as NCPS, which appears alongside her experience in the United Kingdom. The biography notes that she started practising after overcoming trauma and loss in her own life and that she offers video, telephone and live chat or messaging as ways to connect.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. CBT often includes practical exercises and short tasks to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep issues.

She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening, understanding and creating a non-judgemental space. That approach is useful when someone needs to feel heard and to explore personal values and self-worth.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss options and help decide what fits best with a person's goals, needs and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

The biography indicates Amanda offers video, telephone and live chat or messaging as ways to connect. If you want to work online, confirm the exact session formats and scheduling details before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time, helping people keep regular contact while managing everyday commitments.
