Amanda "Mandy" Roberts, NCPS

Amanda "Mandy" Roberts is a counsellor with 14 years of clinical experience who helps people facing midlife changes, stress, anxiety and relationship pressures. She works in a warm, person-centred way and creates a compassionate space for clients to talk at their own pace. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to each person, whether that is immediate coping or deeper emotional work.

In practice Mandy often starts by focusing on the present. That can mean practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to steady mood and reduce worry. When someone is ready, she may gently look at longer-standing patterns and attachment issues to understand where difficult feelings began.

Her style is flexible and straightforward. She listens without judgement and helps people name the feelings under their problems, whether those feelings are grief, shame, anger or loneliness. She also offers meditations written for clients to use between sessions when helpful.

Mandy aims to build resilience rather than quick fixes. Clients work on tolerating uncomfortable feelings and gradually changing habits that no longer serve them. The process is collaborative and paced to the individual’s needs.

She works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, depression, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Mandy holds the NCPS credential and works from the United Kingdom, offering sessions in English and accepting international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Amanda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy among other approaches. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that align with their values rather than being driven by avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to create safer ways of relating to self and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mandy works collaboratively to decide which methods suit each person's goals and preferences. She may use present-focused skills at first, then introduce deeper attachment work when someone feels ready, and she checks in regularly to make sure the pace feels right.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the session formats available before booking since these are not specified in the biography. Many people value the convenience of remote sessions because they can fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and make shorter check-ins easier to arrange. Online sessions can also allow people to use written exercises or guided meditations between meetings, which aligns with her offer of personalised meditation resources.
