About Amanda
Amanda Webster is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, low mood and related concerns. She works with neurodivergent people and members of the LGBT community, including those going through transition. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at easing daily overwhelm and improving wellbeing.
Amanda creates an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual, with a mix of talking and body-focused work when helpful.
Background and approach
Short, achievable strategies are used alongside deeper reflection. She draws on somatic approaches to help people notice how emotions show up in the body. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy gives clear, practical tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people to clarify values and take steps toward them even when feelings are difficult. Amanda has four years of professional experience and holds NCPS as a credential. She combines evidence-based methods with an emphasis on small, steady changes that fit into everyday life.
Practical suggestions often include breaking tasks into small steps and building brief grounding routines. Her work also covers a wide range of additional concerns such as grief, parenting stress, intimacy issues, addictions, chronic illness and body image. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English using a variety of online formats.
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online therapy
Amanda often uses somatic work and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online practice. Somatic work invites people to notice bodily sensations and gentle movement to help reduce tension and become more present; this can help with stress, panic and chronic tension. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed actions even when feelings are hard, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and motivation issues.Finding the right approach is part of the process and Amanda treats it as a collaboration. She will discuss different methods, try things out, and adapt what she offers to suit a person’s goals, pace and preferences. That shared planning helps make therapy feel practical and relevant to everyday life.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or mobility needs and still allow for reflective conversation, somatic noticing and practical exercises between sessions.
