Amanda Thomson

Amanda Thomson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, depression, anger, sleep problems, career challenges and LGBT matters. Amanda aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion while tailoring conversations to each person’s needs.

She understands that life can sometimes feel overwhelming. Some people know why they feel stuck, and others need help to work out what is at play. Amanda offers a warm, accepting space to talk at a pace that suits the individual.

Sessions are practical and goal-minded. Amanda helps people gain perspective, understand patterns, and set achievable steps to feel more able day to day. Work is collaborative, so priorities and methods are agreed together rather than imposed.

Amanda also supports people coping with trauma, intimacy-related worries, ADHD and a wide range of related challenges such as attachment and body image concerns. She adapts the pace and focus depending on what each person brings to the room.

The overall aim is to help people build skills and confidence to move forward. Amanda encourages small, manageable changes and checks progress as work proceeds. She invites people to take the first step when they feel ready.

How evidence-based methods can be used online

Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in plain, practical ways. One common approach she draws on helps people identify thinking and behaviour patterns that keep stress and anxiety active, then practises small changes to reduce their impact. Another approach focuses on grief and loss by allowing people to tell their story, process difficult feelings and find ways to remember while rebuilding daily routines.

Choosing the right way of working is part of therapy. Amanda treats this as a shared task and will help decide which approach fits best based on a person’s needs, goals and what feels manageable. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so it is best to confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and have shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to take part from locations that suit their schedule and to match session length and frequency to everyday life.
