About Amanda
NCPS; 8 years' experience. Amanda Guest works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

How Amanda's approaches guide online counselling
Amanda works with attachment-based methods which look at how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions; this can help with relationship difficulties, trust issues and attachment wounds. She also uses client-centred counselling that focuses on listening and reflecting so the person leads the pace and topics of sessions. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical strategies to change behaviour and manage symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda aims to discuss goals and preferences at the start and to adapt methods as needed. She works collaboratively with people to identify which combination of approaches best fits their situation and aims.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during work breaks or evenings. It can also allow sessions without being on camera when that suits someone, or a shorter phone check-in when time or bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online options to increase flexibility; check the platform for the exact arrangements Amanda offers.
