Amanda Wild, BACP

Amanda Wild is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years of practice. She helps people who are feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed by stress, or struggling with relationship and family concerns. She also supports people facing addiction, issues from past trauma, and difficulties linked to life stages such as midlife crisis.

Amanda describes herself as an integrative counsellor who draws on several approaches to suit each person. Sessions can be short term or longer term depending on what the person needs. She has worked with survivors of sexual and domestic abuse and offers support for concerns such as self-harm, body image and self-esteem.

In sessions Amanda aims to build a calm, steady space for talking through what matters most. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try different ways of coping. Practical steps and reflective conversation are mixed according to the client’s goals.

Her background includes work as a therapeutic counsellor and supervisor, with experience across immediate crisis work and longer therapeutic relationships. She follows the BACP Ethical Framework as part of her practice. People considering therapy are invited to think about what they want to change or understand before starting.

Amanda works in English and is open to international clients through the platform. Before booking, confirm current session formats and practical arrangements to make sure they fit your needs.

How Amanda's approaches translate to online counselling

Amanda uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to guide her practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful when someone needs a steady, accepting space to think things through. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and often includes practical exercises to try between sessions; this can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful coping patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods over time. That means therapy can shift between reflective conversation and skill-based tasks depending on what the person needs and how they respond.

The profile does not list explicit session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online counselling useful because it can fit into busy schedules, remove travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. Others prefer longer sessions for deeper reflection. Amanda aims to make arrangements that fit everyday life while helping clients try new ways of coping.
