About Amanda
Amanda Webster is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, depression, and related challenges. Amanda also supports neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD and autism, and members of the LGBT community who are navigating transition.
Amanda keeps sessions direct and practical. She talks through immediate stressors and breaks bigger problems into smaller steps. She often suggests short breathing exercises, brief movement breaks, and simple daily boundaries to reduce overwhelm and improve focus.
Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), along with attachment-based and client-centred ideas. That mix is used to help people understand feelings, try new responses, and practise skills between sessions.
Clients come with a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and anger. Amanda lists addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family-related stress, grief, self-esteem, career pressures, sleep and eating difficulties, bipolar and complex co-morbidity among them. She also notes additional focuses like abandonment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness, and codependency.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and solution-focused while still allowing time to process difficult experiences. Practical techniques and regular small changes are emphasised to help people manage reactions and reduce the build-up of resentment or frequent snapping.
To begin, prospective clients follow the practice booking steps to match with a session and schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practise small actions that align with those values. It is useful when anger ties into frustration, avoidance, or difficulties accepting thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. CBT provides clear tools for changing patterns that fuel snapping or workplace irritability. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense moments. DBT techniques can help reduce reactive responses and lower the chances of resentment escalating.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Clients and therapist review what helps and adjust the plan over time to find the best fit.
The therapist's biography did not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt ACT, CBT and DBT exercises for remote sessions so you can practise skills between appointments and apply them in everyday situations.
