About Amanda
Amanda Wiffen is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family and parenting concerns, low mood, ADHD, autism, loss and grief. Amanda focuses on helping clients feel more in control as they move forward.
Amanda takes a steady, client-led approach. She lets people set the pace and uses straightforward conversation to help them sort out what matters most. Practical resources and strategies are available when they are useful between sessions.
She makes space for talking through relationship and family tensions. That includes communication problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and commitment concerns. Amanda also supports people coping with bereavement and major life changes.
For people managing attention differences and neurodiversity, she pays attention to how day-to-day routines and sensory factors affect wellbeing. Work-related stress, caregiver strain, and compassion fatigue are other areas she addresses with concrete ideas to try.
Amanda uses several therapeutic approaches to inform her work, including attachment-based, client-centred, mindfulness and trauma-focused methods. Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping people recognise patterns, try small changes, and build steadier ways of coping.
How Amanda blends approaches for online work
Amanda draws on attachment-based and mindfulness approaches in her work. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape present patterns and helps people notice repeated reactions in relationships. Mindfulness therapy encourages simple awareness exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve concentration on the present moment.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amanda works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. She will check in about goals and preferences and adjust the way she works as sessions progress.
The therapist's listed approaches can be used in remote sessions, but the biography does not specify which online session formats are offered. Please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a study or work day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy schedule. It can also let people use techniques such as guided mindfulness or reflective exercises in their usual surroundings.
