Amanda Guest

Amanda Guest is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people tackle issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions and anger. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Amanda holds an NCPS credential and brings eight years of practice to her work.

Amanda keeps sessions focused on the person in front of her. She gives people space to tell their story and treats each client as an individual. Sessions tend to be collaborative, with counsellor and client agreeing what to work on and how to measure progress.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening. Amanda also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused tools when helpful. She aims to match methods to the issue at hand rather than follow one single model.

People can expect practical conversations that link feelings to everyday choices. Amanda often helps clients spot unhelpful patterns and try small changes between sessions. She also works with wider topics such as grief, parenting strain, career stress and compassion fatigue.

International clients may be seen and sessions are conducted in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Amanda describes the counselling relationship as a team effort and encourages people to take the first steps toward change.

How Amanda's approaches translate to online counselling

Amanda uses attachment-based thinking, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques in her work. Attachment-based approaches focus on how past relationships shape current patterns and help people understand why they react strongly in close relationships. Client-centred counselling puts your perspective at the heart of sessions and relies on careful listening and reflective feedback to help you find your own solutions. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and use practical exercises to test small changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Amanda aims to work together with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can change if needed.

The biography does not list specific online session types, so confirm available formats before booking. In general, online working can help fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between work commitments and make it easier to keep continuity when relocating. Registered or accredited professionals often find online sessions allow steady progress using the same therapies they use in person.
