About Amanda
Amanda Salvara is a counsellor with five years of experience supporting people in the United Kingdom and internationally. She holds BACP registration, which appears after her name. Amanda focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and life changes.
She uses a flexible style that adapts to each person's needs. Sessions start by looking at where someone is now and where they want to be.
Background and approach
Amanda helps identify unhelpful patterns and small changes that can make daily life easier. Her work draws on several well-known approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive methods and mindfulness. This means she combines talking, practical exercises and attention to values so people can try different ways of coping and see what helps.
Amanda pays attention to relationship struggles, attachment and feelings of abandonment. She also supports people dealing with body image, shame, isolation, money stress, midlife concerns and the effects of sexual assault or other trauma. Sessions can look like short-term problem solving or longer work on deeper issues.
Amanda treats the process as a collaboration - she listens, reflects and offers tools, but the person sets the pace and goals. Her language is straightforward and aimed at people who are worried and need clear steps. Amanda works in English and sees clients across borders, using online formats so location is less of a barrier.

Online support
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical method that looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour. CBT involves noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying small experiments and building step-by-step changes to reduce worry and improve mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's goals, needs and preferences. She invites feedback and adjusts the plan if something is not helping.
Online therapy lets people access sessions in flexible formats. Video calls are good for face-to-face connection and exercises that use visual materials. Phone sessions can be a low-bandwidth option when video is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, journalling between sessions or continued support when a shorter format works better for a client's routine.
These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. Registered and accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, use these formats to deliver talking therapies and practical tools effectively across distances.
