About Amanda
Amanda Thomson is a counsellor with four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are stressed, anxious, grieving or struggling with depression. She also supports those facing relationship and family strain, intimacy concerns, and trauma and abuse.
Amanda aims to treat everyone with respect and compassion and adapts her approach to each person's needs. Her style is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on understanding what feels overwhelming now, and on small changes that make life feel more manageable.
Background and approach
Amanda helps clients explore patterns in relationships and attachment, and she offers support for sleep problems, anger, career stress and ADHD-related difficulties. She also addresses more specific issues such as abandonment, body image, dissociation and chronic health impacts on wellbeing. Amanda draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the individual.
She creates a warm, accepting space and moves at a pace the client chooses. Conversations are shaped into a clear plan so progress can be tracked and adjusted as needed. People often come to talk about painful loss, abuse, or persistent anxiety.
Amanda helps them make sense of these experiences and build practical skills for day-to-day coping. She encourages clients to set achievable goals and notice small improvements between sessions. Sessions are conducted in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or messaging.
Amanda works with a broad range of concerns and supports people as they develop tools to manage emotions and relationships.

Approaches that guide online therapy
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to practical problem solving and emotional processing. One common way is to work on skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as relaxation practices, activity planning and breaking problems into manageable steps. These tools help reduce immediate overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.She also uses approaches that help people process difficult experiences and trauma in a paced way. This involves talking through what happened, noticing how it affects thoughts and behaviour, and developing strategies to feel steadier in stressful moments. For relationship and attachment work, sessions focus on recognising interaction patterns and experimenting with new ways of relating that feel safer and clearer.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss options with each person and tailor methods to goals, needs and preferences. Together they decide what to try, review what is helping, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation across distance. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when speaking is preferable to typing. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, gradual pacing or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and daily life.
