About Amanda

Amanda Wayling-Yates is a counsellor credentialed with NCPS in the United Kingdom and has six years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and motivation issues. She also supports those facing life changes and people wanting to build more confidence.

Her style is straightforward and person-focused. She treats the client as the expert in their own story and looks for strengths that can be used to manage problems. Sessions aim to identify what triggers strong emotions and to find concrete ways to respond differently in the moment.

Amanda uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a conversational space where people can talk things through. She listens for what matters most and reflects that back so clients can make clearer choices. This approach suits worries about mood, relationship strain, work stress, and transitions.

In practical terms she works on skills as well as understanding. This can include noticing early signs of rising tension, trying new ways to speak up, and small experiments to break unhelpful patterns. The focus is on what the person can try between sessions to notice change.

People often come with a mix of concerns such as sleeplessness, grief, trauma-related reactions, or difficulties with attention and mood. Amanda aims to be steady and direct in helping people sort priorities and make plans they can follow. She invites people to start by sharing what they want to be different and then building on what already works for them.

How Amanda uses Client-Centred work online

Amanda practises Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. The aim is to help people notice their own strengths and make choices that suit their lives, useful for anger, low mood, and stress.

The approach involves open conversation rather than a set programme. The therapist encourages people to describe what they feel and what they want to change, and then helps clarify next steps. This method can fit concerns like relationship tension, workplace frustration, or coping with big life changes.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss options and agree a plan based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. That plan may include simple exercises, communication practice, or noticing triggers between sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into their daily routine, for example by reducing travel time or making it easier to schedule a short check-in during a break. The emphasis is on practical ways to link therapy to everyday life rather than on a particular delivery method.
