I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the support and care I’ve received from Amanda while I grieve the loss of my sister as well as a breakup in the same time frame. When I first started therapy, I was in a very dark place, feeling lost and overwhelmed. From our very first session, Amanda made me feel truly heard and understood. She always listened without judgment, creating a space where I felt emotionally safe to open up and explore my thoughts and feelings. Over time, Amanda has become more than just a therapist; she feels like a friend and a true cheerleader in my journey. Her encouragement and unwavering belief in me have given me a renewed sense of hope and a new lease on life. I can confidently say that I wouldn't be where I am today without her guidance and support. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and is dedicated to helping you find your way, I wholeheartedly recommend Amanda. She’s made an incredible difference in my life, and I’m forever thankful for her.

More about Amanda
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am licensed in the UK with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & coping with grief and loss. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
We all have times in our lives when we feel unable to cope and day to day life is just too much. Sometimes we know exactly why we feel like this and want some support while we work through it, but other times we may need extra help to work out what's going on for us.
I offer a safe, warm and accepting space where we can explore these issues at a pace that suits you. We will work together to help you gain perspective, understanding and work towards any goals, until you feel equipped and able to move forward on your own.
Whatever situation you find yourself in, I will be here to work with you confidentially and respectfully.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Amanda has been very. Helpful throughout our sessions. I've been with her for 8 weeks now and had very in depth conversations which I would usually find uncomfortable with another person. Although sometimes I just talk about somethings which has happened in the week, Amanda will pick up on how this relates back to patterns of my behaviour or areas for self improvement/recognition that we've discussed in the past. I would really recommend Amanda, she is a great listener, very honest and intuitive
Very helpful
Amanda is a wonderful listener, professional, understanding and able to offer insights or alternative ways of thinking at the perfect moment. Highly recommend.
Amanda is a wonderful person, kind, un-judging, welcoming, I'm a very anxious and worrying person, takes time to trust and open up, and Amanda is so kind and present from session 1 that I know I've made the best decision to seek help via therapy and been incredibly lucky that I have been matched with her. Highly recommend. Always punctual, great listener, and has good insights, always genuinely interested in helping and wanting the best for her client.
She's wonderful. We've only had a couple of sessions but already she's gently helped me to not only see another perspective on things, but to explore practical ways to manage my issues. I feel so much more hopeful.
Amanda was really understanding and helpful during our sessions, she made me feel heard and my feelings feel validated.
I’m really happy that I was matched with Amanda, she is understanding, but also extremely easy to talk to and open up to, which was something that I was worried would be a problem before I started therapy. However, the way she navigates the conversation, allows for a an easy, free flowing discussion. I always feel like I have made progress after we have had our sessions!
Great help
Unfortunately I had to leave Better Help much earlier than planned, due to financial reasons. But the sessions I did have with Amanda were a great start for me. She was great at being an active listener to them be able to guide my next steps.
I'm really glad I was matched to Amanda. Her laid back attitude has helped me to open up about a lot of things. She remembers things we've spoken about and has encouraged me to take care of myself during a painful time. She has given me some structure and stability which I have been missing. I feel safe to speak to her. Thank you Amanda.
