Hello and thank you for looking at my profile. I understand how hard it can be to chose the right counsellor. I offer my clients an understanding person-centred approach that is non-judgmental and honest/friendly. The focus of my counselling is decided by the client, who can discuss what might help. I encourage the client to lead the session as I believe that it is the client’s journey since they are experts about their own lives. This allows me to be in the client’s world, supporting them emotionally along their journey to recovery.
I facilitate the process by supporting the client to look at their life journey and help them clarify what they think and how they feel it. My results have shown this process is effective for a wide range of problems and issues. I talk about things they wish in a context that is supportive and facilitative.
Most clients come to me with some form of a loss. This could be in the form of low mood, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, transitions in life, addictions, sexuality and anger issues among others.
I am open minded, approachable, friendly, understanding, and a caring person. I myself have experience some of life’s traumas. I know what it is like to want to talk to someone about how you really feel inside but you don’t because you don’t want people to gossip or be upset for you. Everyone needs a release their emotions at some point in their life and I a safe non-judgmental environment for you to do that.

I have had two sessions with Amanda, and feel they were thought provoking and helpful. It's early days, but I feel this is helping me better understand myself and how I interact, so I can relate better to others.

Amanda is both professional and personable and I can’t thank her enough for supporting me on my healing journey. Amanda has made space for me, been readily available and is open and honest. For someone that felt so lost and unsure of next steps Amanda has taken the time to help me navigate therapy & self-help / self-development tools.

Good specialist. Good app.
Written on Aug 26, 2024 after therapy with Amanda for 2 months on issues concerning relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and self esteem
Amanda is the first therapist that actually gets me. I feel 100% safe to share my most chaotic and deepest thoughts with her. I always leave our sessions feeling empowered and strong. Even tho sometimes it feels like it’s impossible to get up on my feet. She makes my life so much easier by giving me great advice and tasks to work on. On top she always replies to messages quick. She helped me through one of the hardest times and was there for me. It’s obvious that she cares deeply about her patients and wants to do everything in her power to help. Thank you Amanda ❤️

Amanda, gives great in sight and listens to what ever concerns you may have with no judgement and with a very wise head.
Written on Feb 02, 2024 after therapy with Amanda for 1 month on issues concerning relationship issues
I've been in therapy many times and I've had many different therapists, but Amanda is the first one that makes me feel heard. I don't feel like I'm just another piggy bank to her or another checklist, she genuinely listens and seems to care as well. I've made more progress in a few months with Amanda than with other therapists for years. I strongly recommend her and I'm grateful we got matched.

Although not a firm believer in therapy, I have found Amanda to be very human and honest and understanding without being condescendig. She leaves space to talk but not embarrassingly long silences and I would strongly recommend her.

I have been having regular session with Amanda for almost a tear now. She has helped me so much, I still can't truly comprehend how much I have learned, realised and healed during and thanks to our sessions .
She is very positive and understanding, creates very friendly and safe atmosphere for me to talk about everything. She does remember specific details about my story, even things I have shared long ago, and this helps so much in understanding emotions and habits. I truly recommend her as a therapist as she very human and understanding while being professional and competent and always leave me with the feeling that she is eager to help me.

Amanda has been great from the beginning, really understanding and easy to talk to. She asks all the right questions and gives you space to talk. I've had 3 different experiences with other therapists outside of better help and Amanda is by far the one I feel I can truly make some meaningful, positive changes with.

I have had 4 sessions so far with Amanda and couldn’t recommend her enough. The thought of therapy has always filled me with so much anxiety but Amanda has taken that anxiety away and I come away from the sessions feeling like a weights being lifted. I am finding therapy really helpful and changing my way of thinking.
