About Amanda

Amanda Salvara is a counsellor who draws on five years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and major life changes. She holds BACP accreditation and has worked with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Amanda aims to create a calm, steady presence while clients work through painful or confusing experiences.

Her style is conversational and down-to-earth. She asks practical questions and listens for recurring patterns in thought and behaviour.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative: goals are set together and revisited as progress is made. Amanda combines tools from different counselling approaches to suit each person’s needs. In practice she helps people untangle the effects of past hurt, rebuild self-worth and cope with mood shifts.

She uses techniques that teach coping skills, reduce avoidance, and clarify values so people can make clearer decisions. The focus is on small, manageable steps rather than sudden changes. Amanda pays attention to cultural context and how identity affects wellbeing.

She also supports people facing specific concerns such as body image, sexual assault and post-traumatic stress. Her work looks at patterns like attachment, abandonment and isolation, and how they show up in relationships and daily life. People who prefer a compassionate, flexible approach tend to match well with her way of working.

Amanda adapts the mix of interventions to each person’s situation and pace. The aim is steady progress toward a life that feels more aligned with personal values and goals.

Approaches for online therapy and trauma recovery

Amanda uses a mix of approaches aimed at helping people manage difficult thoughts and feelings. Trauma-Focused Therapy involves gently processing the impact of traumatic events so daily life becomes easier to manage. It helps reduce the hold of traumatic memories and improve coping with triggers.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. It emphasises values-based action so people can move toward what matters, even when emotions are strong.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss goals, preferences and life circumstances and then choose methods that fit. The process is collaborative and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while still using the same therapeutic tools you would get in person.
