Amanda Wiffen, BACP

Amanda Wiffen offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or big life changes. She greets clients with a warm manner and works at a pace that suits each person. Her aim is to help people feel more in control and find clearer ways forward.

She uses a guiding approach so conversations stay practical and focused. Sessions can include talking things through, exploring emotions, and trying simple tools to manage day-to-day stress. Amanda can suggest exercises or resources to use between meetings if that helps progress.

Her background includes three years of practice in the United Kingdom and registration with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That registration is recorded as BACP in her credentials.

Amanda commonly supports people dealing with relationship strains, family and parenting pressures, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, attachment difficulties, communication problems and life transitions.

In the consulting room she aims to create a steady, non-judgemental space. She moves at a client’s pace and focuses on practical next steps when someone feels stuck. People often find this helpful when they need clear options during uncertain times.

How Amanda’s approaches work online and in conversation

Amanda draws on attachment-based and trauma-focused ways of working to help people understand relationships and how past experiences shape current feelings. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and helps people notice what they need and how they connect with others. Trauma-focused work focuses on gentle ways to process distressing experiences and build calmer responses in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and will adapt the way she works so it fits each person. The choice of methods is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy vary by what is needed, so please confirm available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. They can also let clients use a quieter setting at home or a work break for a session, and make it simpler to continue work when life is unpredictable.
