About Amanda
Amanda Wild is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has eight years' experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression, anger and relationship difficulties. She also works with trauma and abuse, addiction, self-esteem and life changes.
Amanda uses straightforward, talk-based work. Sessions can look at current problems and past experiences that still cause difficulty. She offers both short-term practical work and longer-term conversations depending on what a person needs.
Her approach draws on a few recognised methods. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot patterns of thinking and try different ways of responding. Client-centred elements focus on how someone experiences things in the moment and on building a steady working relationship.
She also brings in psychodynamic ideas to explore how past relationships and events show up now. Solution-focused tools are used when people want clear, goal-led steps to reduce anger or manage stress. Amanda aims to be direct and practical while still allowing time to talk through painful material.
Amanda has worked with survivors of sexual and domestic abuse and with people affected by a wide range of difficulties. She offers supervision alongside counselling work and accepts international clients. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to use the site's matching process and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How Amanda's therapeutic approaches work online
Amanda commonly blends client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred work means the counsellor focuses on how someone describes their feelings and thoughts, and builds a steady working relationship to talk things through. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and introduce practical experiments to try different responses, which can help with anger and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss goals, preferences and how much practical skills versus exploratory conversation someone wants. She aims to agree a plan that fits the person's needs and to review it as therapy progresses so methods can change if they are not helping.
The original biography does not list specific online formats. Please confirm which session formats are offered when you select the online therapy options button. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or offering a phone option when video requires more bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt tools so exercises and practical tasks work well in remote sessions.
