About Amanda

Amanda Balaam is a counsellor who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, grief and other intense feelings. She works in a calm, patient way so clients can talk through what matters to them. Amanda uses a flexible style that aims to meet people where they are and build on their strengths.

She brings 17 years of experience to her practice and has worked with a wide range of concerns.

Background and approach

That experience includes supporting people with depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with sleep and intimacy. She also helps with relationship and communication problems, parenting strain, and career or life-change stress. Amanda draws on approaches that centre the person and their relationships.

She uses Attachment-Based techniques to look at how early bonds shape current feelings and connections. Client-Centred methods guide the pace and focus of sessions so people feel heard. Solution-Focused ideas are used to set practical goals and spot small changes that make life easier.

She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Amanda works with individuals and supports issues such as guilt, shame, isolation, and midlife concerns. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what the client needs right now.

Sessions are offered in English and provided online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

How Amanda’s approaches work online

Amanda uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current feelings and behaviour. This approach helps when patterns of closeness, trust or abandonment affect current relationships and emotional wellbeing. Client-Centred therapy is also central to her work and focuses on listening, acceptance and following the client’s pace. It helps people feel heard and make sense of their thoughts and feelings. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify small, practical steps and realistic goals that reduce stress and improve day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amanda will work collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful, and she will adjust methods as needs and goals change. Clients and therapist explore what is useful together rather than following a fixed plan.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions often suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, quick problem-solving or when someone needs support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility limits while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
