Amanda Guest, NCPS

Amanda Guest offers help with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She supports people concerned about relationships, family issues, grief, intimacy, eating and parenting challenges. Amanda also works with mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, and with ADHD and compassion fatigue. Amanda has eight years' experience and is listed with NCPS. She aims to give each person space and respect to work on what matters to them. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual. Amanda describes her role as listening, reflecting and helping clients find practical steps they can try between meetings. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred skills to keep the focus on the person's experience. Cognitive behavioural tools are used when people want concrete ways to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Amanda values working as part of a team when that helps the person be supported. She encourages clear, honest communication and sets realistic goals together. Progress is measured in small, achievable changes rather than sudden fixes. People from outside the United Kingdom may be able to work with Amanda; sessions are held in English. Costs vary by location and availability and are delivered via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online therapy

Amanda uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques in her work. Attachment-based therapy looks at how past relationship patterns affect current feelings and interactions, which can help with intimacy, trust and communication issues. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours, useful for anxiety, low mood and coping strategies. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. That conversation shapes how sessions proceed and what practical tools are introduced. If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the supported formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by avoiding travel and allowing sessions during work breaks or between appointments. It also permits shorter check-ins when needed and means people do not always have to be on camera, which can help with focus or concentration. Registered or accredited professionals can use these ways of working to keep therapy consistent with a person’s daily routine and responsibilities.
