About Amanda
Amanda Guest helps people manage a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with life changes, grief, intimacy and relationship difficulties, and issues related to eating, parenting and career. Amanda works with mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder and offers coaching for compassion fatigue and ADHD-related struggles.
Amanda uses a collaborative approach in sessions. She aims to create a respectful space where individuals decide what to focus on.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and conversational, with time spent listening, reflecting back what she hears, and trying out small changes together. Her background includes eight years working in counselling roles across the United Kingdom. Amanda holds NCPS as a credential and draws on that experience when helping people explore patterns, build coping skills, and improve communication.
In practice she combines ideas from attachment-based work, client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural methods. That mix can help people understand how early relationships shape current reactions, feel heard in the moment, and test out different ways of thinking or behaving. Amanda aims to tailor sessions to the person in front of her rather than following a fixed programme.
People will find a calm, practical style that focuses on small achievable steps and clearer thinking. She welcomes clients who prefer online support or who need flexible session formats.

Online support
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss options with the person and agree which methods to try based on their needs, goals and preferences. That way the work can shift if something feels unhelpful or a different focus is needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journalling between sessions, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and busy schedules while still working with registered or accredited professionals and therapists.
