About Amanda

Amanda Wiffen is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works at a gentle, steady pace. She creates a calm space where people can talk through worries and regain a sense of control. Amanda aims to guide rather than rush, offering practical resources when they help the process.

She focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting pressures, and low mood. Trauma and abuse, grief and loss, ADHD and autism are also within her experience.

Background and approach

Amanda listens for the issues that feel most urgent and helps people choose what to work on first. Amanda uses an approachable, person-centred way of working. She follows the client’s lead and adapts to how someone prefers to process things.

Where helpful, she draws on trauma-focused and attachment-based ideas to make sense of difficult experiences. Sessions often include talking, reflective questions and practical suggestions to try between meetings. She can share exercises for mindfulness and simple ways to notice patterns that cause distress.

The focus is on small changes that build steadiness over time. With three years of professional experience, Amanda supports people through life changes and caregiving strain as well as issues such as communication problems, codependency and body image. She aims to be a steady presence while people find clearer ways forward.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online therapy

Amanda uses trauma-focused work to help people process difficult events in small, manageable steps. This approach looks at how past experiences affect feelings and reactions and supports rebuilding a sense of safety and control. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. This can help when someone struggles with trust, dependency or repeated relationship problems.

She combines these perspectives with a client-centred way of working, so finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist listens to your goals and preferences and adjusts methods as you go. Together you decide whether to focus on understanding patterns, practising new responses, or trying short exercises between sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which add practical flexibility. Video is useful for more in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or shorter exchanges between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while keeping continuity of care.
