About Amanda

Amanda Wiffen is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She aims to create a relaxed space where people can talk at their own pace. Amanda focuses on helping clients feel a bit more in control when life feels overwhelming.

She works alongside people who are managing stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, parenting strains, low moods, ADHD and autism-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with loss, grief and workplace issues. Codependency and attachment concerns are among the additional areas she can address.

Amanda uses a gentle, steady approach and offers resources to use between sessions when that helps progress. She acts as a companion on the journey rather than directing every step. Sessions move at a pace set by the client.

Her practice draws on a mix of counselling methods to match each person’s needs. Amanda brings three years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She keeps her language plain and practical during sessions.

People who choose Amanda often want straightforward help with everyday pressures and complex life events. She encourages people to focus on small changes that lead to clearer choices about the future.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Amanda draws on attachment-based and client-centred approaches to shape her online work. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people understand connection and trust. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, using a warm, non-judgemental listening style to help clients find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Amanda will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to match the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation where the client’s pace guides decisions about focus and tools.

Practical benefits of remote sessions can include easier fitting of appointments around work and family, shorter check-ins when time is tight, and options that reduce travel. Because formats were not specified in the biography, please confirm available session types before booking. Registered or accredited professionals use online work to help people address stress, relationship patterns, grief and trauma in ways that fit everyday life.
