Amanda Wiffen, BACP

Amanda Wiffen is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or big life changes. She aims to create a calm space where clients can talk at their own pace and start to feel more in control. Amanda brings a warm, steady presence to sessions and offers practical resources when they are helpful.

Her work is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens for the patterns that keep people stuck and gently helps them try different ways of responding. Sessions might include grounding or mindfulness exercises, exploring how past attachments shape current relationships, and reflecting on choices that matter now.

Amanda has three years of experience supporting people through relationship strain, parenting pressures, family conflict, grief and workplace stress. She also works with neurodiversity-related issues such as ADHD and autism, and with trauma and abuse survivors who want to make sense of their experiences.

Her approach draws on client-centred methods, attachment-based ideas and trauma-focused thinking, together with psychodynamic reflections and mindfulness practice. These influences are used simply and practically to help people notice what matters and try out small changes between sessions.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are delivered in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the platform.

How Amanda's approaches translate to online counselling

Amanda uses client-centred work and trauma-focused thinking to guide her sessions. Client-centred therapy emphasises listening and responding to each person's concerns, helping them shape sessions around their priorities and pace. Trauma-focused therapy involves carefully working through difficult experiences and building coping skills to lessen their impact on daily life.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how earlier relationships influence current patterns. This can help when addressing relationship worries, parenting stress or repeated emotional responses. Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative - the counsellor and client decide together which methods suit the client's goals and comfort level.

Practical benefits of online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life. Many people find scheduling simpler and sessions can be joined without travel, which saves time.
