About Amanda
Amanda Webster is a counsellor who aims to make the first steps feel manageable. She meets people where they are and focuses on easing stress, anxiety and the daily overwhelm that gets in the way of life. Amanda draws on a handful of therapeutic approaches to help people find steadier footing and clearer choices.
She has four years of professional experience and is listed with NCPS. Amanda works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, anger, grief and self-esteem.
Background and approach
She also supports clients with ADHD, autism and LGBT issues, and helps people navigate relationship and intimacy challenges. Her style is direct and compassionate. Sessions aim to be a space to speak openly and to make small, practical changes.
Amanda often suggests breaking tasks into smaller steps, short breathing breaks, and routines to protect downtime and focus. In therapy she combines narrative ways of thinking with cognitive and acceptance-based tools. Narrative therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves.
Cognitive techniques help identify unhelpful thought patterns and practical steps to test new behaviours. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports noticing difficult feelings while choosing actions that matter. Amanda offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging for flexibility.
International clients may be seen and sessions are delivered in English. To start, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step link a person to the right time to begin.

Online session options
How Amanda uses different approaches online
Amanda combines Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-focused ways of working. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe those narratives into more helpful versions. It can be useful for people who feel stuck in a particular identity or pattern.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, and then take values-based action. This approach often suits people managing anxiety, depression or chronic stress. Client-centred therapy puts the person and their experience at the heart of sessions, offering warmth and non-judgement while decisions about direction come from the client.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and how they respond to different ways of working, and then adjust the approach together. That collaborative process helps tailor therapy to what actually helps the person move forward.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into short breaks. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection without needing to be on camera. These options give flexibility for different schedules and practical circumstances.
