About Amanda
Amanda Bouvier offers calm, steady support for people facing life’s stresses and painful changes. She speaks plainly and keeps sessions focused on what matters now. Her approach suits people who want practical tools and steady listening as they work through anxiety, grief, depression or relationship and intimacy worries.
Amanda has 15 years' experience as a counsellor and holds BACP registration. She has supported people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster-care concerns, autism spectrum and ADHD-related challenges, and the day-to-day strain of caregiving.
Background and approach
She also helps those coping with chronic illness, body image issues, eating or sleeping problems, and career or life transitions. In sessions she draws on methods such as cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment approaches, emotionally focused work and attachment-based thinking. That means she will help you notice patterns, try new responses, and focus on values and relationships that matter most.
Conversations are practical and paced to your needs. Amanda is experienced in supporting people from the LGBT community and from diverse backgrounds. She has particular experience with bereavement including the loss of a pet, and with issues linked to parenting, blended families and communication difficulties.
Sessions are offered in English and are open to people in the United Kingdom and beyond. She offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits your life.

Online support
She also draws on attachment-based therapy, which looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current connections. This approach can help with abandonment worries, attachment issues and relationship communication problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. That might mean combining acceptance and commitment ideas with emotionally focused techniques to address both feelings and practical choices.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility for different routines and communication styles and make it easier to keep therapy consistent.
