About Amanda

Amanda Jones is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, and parenting strains. Sessions are in English and she does not take international clients.

Amanda prefers a straightforward way of working. She listens to what matters most and helps people talk through immediate problems. She uses practical conversations to address low mood, sleep or eating difficulties, and issues around intimacy, addiction, or anger.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred principles. That means attention to important relationships and to how people experience themselves. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help people manage stress and build small, achievable changes.

Amanda has worked with people facing loss, chronic illness and caregiving stress, blended family problems, and identity concerns including LGBT issues. She also supports people coping with abandonment, communication breakdowns, and the effects of trauma.

Sessions pay attention to practical day-to-day challenges of home life and parenting. Amanda aims to make conversations clear and paced to fit a busy household. She asks about the person’s goals and helps plan next steps that feel doable.

To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book their first meeting. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work

Amanda draws on attachment-based work to look at how important relationships shape feelings and behaviour. This approach helps when issues stem from closeness, trust or patterns repeated across relationships. It can be useful for parenting strain, intimacy issues and communication breakdowns.

She also uses client-centred methods that focus on what matters most to the individual. That means the conversation follows the client’s priorities and aims to increase self-understanding and emotional regulation. Solution-focused ideas are used alongside these approaches to set small, manageable goals between sessions.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Amanda will discuss which approaches feel most useful based on the person’s concerns, goals and preferences. She works collaboratively, adjusting methods and pace as needs change.

The original profile does not state specific online formats. Please confirm the session types offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around home and family life, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time so people can attend during a break from work or childcare.
