Amanda Le Tissier

Amanda Le Tissier is a counsellor with 25 years of experience who uses a blend of approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She sees each person as the expert on their own life and offers steady support while clients work towards change. Amanda welcomes straightforward conversations and practical steps that fit into everyday life.

Her background combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with elements from other methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. She also practises inner child work and draws on these tools to address trauma, abuse, addiction and anger. Sessions aim to build skills, increase self-awareness and improve day-to-day coping.

Amanda often helps people who struggle with relationships, low self-esteem, motivation and sleep problems. She also supports those facing more complex issues such as chronic illness, caregiving stress, attachment difficulties and personality-related challenges. Her approach is adaptable and focused on practical progress rather than labels.

Having experienced trauma and loss herself, Amanda brings personal understanding to her professional practice. She describes therapy as a collaborative journey and stays alongside clients while they try new ways of thinking and behaving. Her style is warm, direct and encouraging.

Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. Amanda holds the NCPS credential, which appears with her professional details. To begin, prospective clients follow a short matching process and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Amanda uses evidence-based approaches online

Amanda draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that align with their values, which is useful for stress, avoidance and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques as you progress. The aim is to try methods together and choose what helps you make steady changes.

Her original biography mentions video, telephone and live chat or messaging as ways she works, so confirm the exact session options when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. They also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that suits them better. If you need clarification about formats, ask during the matching process before scheduling.
