Amanda "Mandy" Roberts

Amanda "Mandy" Roberts helps people facing anger alongside stress, anxiety, relationship strain and sleep problems. She also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, grief, trauma and identity questions. Mandy presents herself in a calm, steady way so people can talk without pressure or judgement.

Mandy has 14 years of counselling experience and lists NCPS as her credential. She works in a person-centred manner, which means the client leads the pace and focus. Sessions usually begin with what is happening now and then follow the client’s priorities.

When someone wants to look deeper, Mandy will gently explore longer-standing patterns and attachment issues. That may include inner child work to help address old hurts. If steadying the present feels more helpful, she uses cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness strategies to manage upsetting thoughts and emotions.

Her style is flexible and collaborative. She often creates tailored meditations and practical exercises to use between sessions. The emphasis is on recognising the feelings beneath behaviour and learning new ways to respond that feel less damaging.

Mandy encourages people to move at their own speed. Sessions can focus on a single pressing issue or cover several concerns over time. Clients decide how many sessions they want and can pause or stop when it feels right for them.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work

Amanda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for managing anger and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her practice and focuses on understanding relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current responses. Client-Centred Therapy underpins her style by keeping the client’s priorities and pace central to sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will talk things through with each person and decide together which methods match their goals and day-to-day needs. This collaborative planning helps shape what is tried in early sessions and what is adjusted later.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Some people find audio-only calls less demanding, while others prefer to see gestures and expressions on video; the therapist will discuss what fits best for practical reasons and personal comfort.
