How sessions work
How Amanda uses specific approaches online
Amanda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside Client-Centred methods. ACT focuses on helping people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can help with anxiety, stress and life changes. Attachment-Based work looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current connections, which can be useful for parenting strain and conflict with caregivers. Client-Centred work places the person’s experience at the centre and encourages clear, paced conversations to make sense of difficult feelings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss goals and preferences with the person and decide together what to try first. She adapts methods based on how someone responds, so sessions can shift between practical tasks, reflective conversation and skills practice.
