About Amanda
Amanda Thomson is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships, family conflict, grief and loss, depression, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, career change and ADHD.
Amanda uses straightforward talking therapy focused on practical steps and clearer thinking. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. She listens to what feels most important and helps people make small, manageable changes.
Her background includes seeing people cope with relationship breakdowns, bereavement and work-related stress. She also supports those dealing with intimacy-related issues and the after-effects of abuse. Amanda has worked with a wide range of concerns listed in her practice profile, such as attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and neurodiversity-related themes.
In sessions she asks about day-to-day routines and specific problems. She and the client agree goals and check progress as they go. This often means trying new ways to manage worry, change unhelpful patterns, sleep better or approach difficult conversations differently.
Amanda works in English and does not take international clients. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary by location. To begin, prospective clients follow the site matching steps and schedule an initial appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Amanda draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and managing distress. One common approach involves helping people recognise and shift thoughts and behaviours that maintain anxiety or low mood, often using practical exercises to test new ways of thinking. Another approach focuses on understanding attachment and relationship patterns so clients can improve communication and set clearer boundaries in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She reviews what helps and adapts the plan as therapy progresses, so people can see which techniques are most useful for them.
Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking because the original profile does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into studies, work shifts or day-to-day routines by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks. Others find short check-ins useful when they need a quick review without a full session. Ask about the available session types when you make your initial arrangements so you can pick what suits your schedule and practical needs.
