Amanda Kwesiga, BACP

Amanda Kwesiga offers a calm, warm way to talk about difficult feelings. She aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can be heard and begin to make change. Amanda is named as a BACP counsellor and presents herself as someone who listens closely and moves at each person's pace.

Amanda uses a relational, person-centred way of working. That means she treats the person as the expert on their own life and helps them find their own understanding. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and gently testing different ways forward together.

She has experience supporting people who have lived through trauma, including domestic abuse, stalking and coercive control. Amanda has also worked with those affected by alcohol and drug dependency, a range of mental health diagnoses, and people wanting to explore issues around faith and work.

Amanda has a special interest in disenfranchised grief - losses that often go unrecognised by others. She also works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and family problems, parenting worries, addiction, depression and life changes.

Sessions include regular reviews so progress and goals can be checked and adjusted. Amanda says she draws on elements from other approaches when these fit the person’s needs. She aims to build an honest working relationship and to walk alongside people as they take steps towards change.

How Amanda’s Client-Centred Approach Works Online

Amanda's main approach is client-centred therapy, which means she places the person at the centre of the work. Sessions focus on listening carefully, reflecting back what is heard, and supporting people to make sense of their experience in their own terms. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and navigating life changes.

She also draws on other helpful elements when these fit a person's needs, such as practical ways to manage stress or to reflect on difficult past experiences. These additions are used flexibly and agreed together during sessions so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will explore goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adjust the way of working as the relationship develops.
