About Amanda

Amanda Bouvier is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years' experience. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, stress and relationship concerns. Young adults navigating study, first jobs, money and identity are among the people she sees.

Amanda uses straightforward, talk-based work to help people untangle difficult feelings. Sessions often focus on practical ways to manage anxiety, low mood, grief or life transitions. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, autism spectrum challenges and issues linked to intimacy and self-esteem.

Amanda draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive behavioural ideas and acceptance and commitment perspectives. She pays attention to attachment patterns and how early relationships influence current connections. This helps when working through abandonment, adoption and blended family concerns.

Her work includes supporting people after bereavement, including the death of a pet, and helping those carrying caring responsibilities cope with fatigue and stress. She also supports those facing body image, eating and sleep difficulties, and career-related pressure.

Amanda meets people from diverse backgrounds and from the LGBT community. If someone is unsure what to expect, she asks a few practical questions at first and agrees clear goals and small steps to work on together.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Amanda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and focus on values-based action rather than getting stuck in worry or avoidance. Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections and emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. She will suggest ways of working and check in regularly to adjust the approach as needs change.

Confirm the session formats offered before you book, because the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study or early-career hours, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find talking by video or phone helps maintain continuity during life changes; discuss with the therapist which option would suit everyday life and practical constraints.
