About Amanda
Amanda Rowland is an AASW social worker with 28 years of professional experience in Australia. She works with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, eating concerns and the adjustments that follow big life changes. She also has experience supporting people facing compassion fatigue.
Amanda keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She talks through current worries, coping strategies and small changes that can make daily life easier. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on steps a person can try between sessions.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice with a wide range of presenting issues. That variety means she can draw on different ways of working when someone needs help with attachment worries, body image or communication problems. She has also supported people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress and cancer related concerns.
Amanda pays attention to how major transitions affect mood and routines. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by moving out, starting study or a new job, relationship shifts, or the sense of being behind peers. Practical problem solving, pacing change and developing healthier routines are common themes in her work.

Approaches online and what they look like
Evidence-based techniques are used to help with current difficulties and life transitions. One common approach focuses on practical coping skills and problem solving. This involves identifying specific unhelpful patterns, testing small behavioural changes and building routines that reduce stress and anxiety. It can help when daily life feels chaotic or overwhelming.Another helpful method centres on understanding grief and loss through paced conversations and meaning-making. This approach supports people who are adjusting after a loss or other major change by naming emotions, planning manageable tasks and finding ways to remember what matters without increasing distress.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as issues shift and progress is made.
