About Amanda
Amanda Kwesiga welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to turn. She introduces herself simply and directly so new clients know what to expect. Amanda is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can be heard.
Amanda works in a relational way and places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the process. She listens first and helps people find clarity about their concerns, whether they want to unpick past experiences or make practical changes in their life.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a pace that feels manageable and Amanda checks in regularly to make sure progress matches each person's goals. Her practice uses a person-centred approach, which assumes clients are the experts on their own lives. Amanda helps people name what matters to them and supports them to reach their own understanding of their situation.
She also draws on elements from other approaches when that will better meet a person's needs. Amanda has experience working with trauma and with people affected by domestic abuse, stalking and coercive control. She has also supported those dealing with addiction, work difficulties, faith questions and complicated grief that is often overlooked by others.
People can expect warm, empathetic listening and practical conversations about next steps. Amanda aims to collaborate with each person to map clear goals and to review progress so the work stays relevant.

Ways of working Amanda names
Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
Person-centred support online and practical therapy options
Amanda’s practice is rooted in client-centred therapy, which means she listens carefully and helps people find their own answers. This approach suits people who need time to be heard, to make sense of past experiences, or to work out small changes in daily life.She also brings relational work into online sessions, focusing on the therapeutic relationship as a place to practise new ways of relating and to repair difficult patterns. That can be helpful for issues tied to attachment, abandonment or relationship conflict. When useful, Amanda draws on other techniques alongside person-centred work to meet each person’s needs.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will talk through options with clients, consider their goals and preferences, and agree a way of working together. That means adjusting pace, checking progress and switching methods when one way is not helping.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits short check-ins and text messaging lets people write between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care.
