About Amanda
Amanda Wiffen welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or drained by daily life. She introduces herself simply and calmly, so conversations start in an easy way. Amanda works at each persons pace and focuses on small steps that help people feel more in control of their future.
Amanda uses a gentle, conversational style. Sessions are intended to give space to talk about stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting and family tensions.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and the challenges of ADHD and autism. Practical resources can be offered between meetings when useful. Her approach is patient and exploratory.
People can expect someone who listens and reflects rather than pushes for quick fixes. The aim is to help clients notice patterns, practise new ways of coping, and build steadier routines for day-to-day life. Amanda holds BACP, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She has three years of professional experience working with the concerns listed above in the United Kingdom. Sessions can be arranged to suit different needs and schedules. Amanda helps people set realistic goals and chooses strategies that fit each persons situation.
That practical focus is designed to make changes feel manageable and lasting.

Online support
She also uses client-centred therapy which focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions. That approach can support self-esteem, decision making and short-term coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Amanda works collaboratively to choose what fits. She will discuss goals, preferences and how you respond to different ways of working, and then adjust the approach as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide practical options. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging allow a written, step-by-step way to reflect between sessions and can fit around busy days.
These formats aim to make therapy easier to organise around work, caring responsibilities and travel, while keeping the focus on clear goals and steady progress.
