About Amanda
Amanda Kwesiga is a counsellor who aims to make reaching out feel less daunting. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can be heard. Her style is relational and person-centred, which means she focuses on building an honest working connection and listens to what matters to each individual.
Amanda works at a pace that suits the person in the room. She supports people who want to be heard, make changes, or unpack past experiences. She uses regular reviews during therapy to check progress and adjust the work so it stays relevant to a person's goals.
Her background includes working with trauma, including people affected by domestic abuse, stalking and coercive control. She has also supported people with alcohol and drug dependency, a range of mental health diagnoses, workplace worries and those exploring faith-related concerns. She has a particular interest in disenfranchised grief, which involves losses that are often overlooked or not recognised by others.
Amanda describes the client as the expert on their own life and draws on person-centred ideas to help people reach their own understanding of their concerns. She also integrates useful techniques from other approaches when that helps move things forward.
She aims to walk alongside people as they explore change, offering steady support through the process and checking in regularly to shape the work to each person’s needs.
Client-centred care and online therapy
Amanda’s primary approach is Client-Centred Therapy. This way of working focuses on listening closely and creating an accepting space where people can find their own answers. It tends to help with issues like low self-esteem, life changes, grief and relationship questions because the person’s experience guides the pace and direction.She also draws on relational ideas that pay attention to the therapeutic connection itself. That means the relationship with the counsellor is used as part of the work to notice patterns and try new ways of being. This can be helpful for people dealing with attachment issues, codependency and the aftermath of trauma.
Deciding on the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will check in about your concerns, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit. Together you can review how sessions are going and make changes when needed.

Many people find remote therapy useful because it can fit around work, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed and make it easier to keep appointments during busy periods.
