About Amanda

Amanda Wiffen is a counsellor who aims to help people feel steadier and more able to make choices about their life. She works at a calm pace and helps clients untangle problems so they can move forward. Her manner is warm and reassuring, and she offers resources to use between sessions when that is helpful.

She supports people dealing with stress and anxiety, and helps with relationship and family concerns. She also assists parents who are feeling overwhelmed, and those coping with low mood, grief, or major life changes. Attention differences such as ADHD and neurodiversity such as autism are also within her work areas.

Amanda uses therapy styles that centre the client and look at how early attachments and past experiences shape current feelings and relationships. She draws on mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas to help people manage distressing memories and strong emotions. Sessions aim to be practical and paced to each person’s needs.

Amanda holds a BACP credential, which is shown here as supplied. She has three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. Her approach balances listening with gentle guidance and practical tools to try between meetings.

People who want someone steady to walk alongside them during difficult changes may find her approach helpful. Prospective clients should confirm session formats before booking.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Amanda draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach helps people understand why they might react strongly in relationships and offers ways to build more stable connections.

She also uses client-centred methods that focus on the person in the room. That means listening without judgement, following the client’s pace, and helping them find their own solutions to problems like anxiety, grief or relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss different approaches with clients and decide together what feels most useful. That collaborative process considers a person’s goals, current stresses and how they prefer to work in sessions.

Please confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the supplied biography did not list specifics. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from more convenient locations. Different formats can suit shorter check-ins, quieter conversation, or fuller therapy sessions depending on practical needs.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
