Amanda Wayling-Yates, NCPS

Amanda Wayling-Yates offers help for people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger and life changes. She works with concerns around relationships, grief, trauma, sleep and eating problems, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar. Amanda is credentialed as NCPS and has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

She approaches therapy from a client-centred perspective. That means she treats each person as the expert on their own life and follows the pace they set. Sessions focus on listening, understanding what matters to the individual, and building on existing strengths.

In practice Amanda helps people talk through practical problems. She supports coping skills for stressful times, explores patterns that affect mood and relationships, and works on confidence and motivation. Conversations aim to be straightforward and respectful, with clear goals agreed together.

She also offers help around identity and LGBT concerns, parenting strain, workplace stress and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include ADHD, social anxiety, panic attacks, and issues such as dissociation, body image and forgiveness.

Amanda asks clients to shape the work and she provides consistent support across sessions. To begin she invites people to consider what feels most urgent, then they agree small steps to try between meetings. This helps progress feel manageable and realistic.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

A client-centred approach focuses on listening, understanding and following the person’s priorities. The therapist creates space for clients to tell their story, reflect on choices and identify their own goals. This style is helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief and coping with life changes.

That same client-led stance also makes online work adaptable. Amanda will collaborate with each person to choose how to approach sessions, set goals and check progress. Together they decide what methods and pacing suit the client’s needs and preferences rather than imposing a fixed plan.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people maintain continuity of care while juggling work, family or relocation. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who work this way, will discuss practical arrangements and help match the approach to the client’s situation.
