About Amanda
Amanda Thomson offers practical, evidence-based support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or loss. She uses clear, straightforward conversations to help clients understand what is happening and to build steps forward. Amanda works from a place of respect and compassion, tailoring sessions to each person’s needs.
She is identified as BACP which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. With four years of professional experience, Amanda focuses on common but heavy problems such as depression, grief, relationship strain and family concerns.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, anger and career pressures. Attention is given to neurodiversity and related concerns including ADHD and autism traits. Sessions are personalised to what the client wants to achieve.
Conversations are practical and paced to suit each person, with time spent identifying helpful routines and coping strategies. Amanda aims to help people gain clarity, reduce distress and build skills to manage day-to-day life. She also works with a range of other issues including body image, chronic illness, codependency and sexual expression concerns such as BDSM and kink.
Amanda’s approach recognises how past experiences like abandonment or attachment struggles can affect present choices. Amanda practises in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Her style is warm and non-judgemental, and she encourages people to take small, manageable steps towards change.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda discusses options with each person and chooses methods together based on the client’s priorities and preferences. This collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made and new needs appear.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messages suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, while keeping a consistent course of support.
