About Amanda

Amanda Wayling-Yates is a counsellor registered with NCPS in the United Kingdom and has six years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, motivation, and the practical stresses of life changes.

Amanda works from a client-centred approach. She treats people as the experts of their own lives and focuses on listening carefully so they can find their own solutions. Sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful, with an emphasis on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon.

People often come to her when they feel stuck after a life change, overwhelmed by work or study pressures, or unsure about relationships and identity. She also offers support for grief, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating concerns, and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar symptoms.

Amanda has experience with issues related to ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, workplace stress, body image, and social anxiety. She can help people talk through communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or dissociation that affect everyday life.

Her style is steady and practical. Conversations focus on what feels important now and on small, do-able steps between sessions. Prospective clients are invited to start with a short matching questionnaire to see if her way of working fits their needs.

How Amanda’s client-centred approach works online

Amanda principally uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening without directing. The therapist works to understand the person’s perspective and supports them to discover their own solutions. This approach often helps with stress, anxiety, self-esteem and making choices during life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss what feels most useful and adapt sessions to the person’s goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as needs evolve.

The therapist’s biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during study or work breaks. It can also make shorter, practical sessions simpler when concentration or bandwidth is limited. Many people find that meeting remotely helps them maintain continuity of support alongside everyday commitments.
