About Amanda
Amanda Guest is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people with stress, anxiety, addictions and parenting concerns. She also works with grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, low self-esteem, mood disorders and the effects of trauma and abuse. Amanda uses straightforward language and a calm manner to help people feel heard and understood.
Amanda believes people grow when they are given space and respect. She treats each person as an individual and aims to build a collaborative working relationship.
Background and approach
That means she listens first, then works with the person to agree practical steps they can try between sessions. Her approach draws on methods that help people understand patterns in relationships and everyday thinking. Sessions often include talking through recent events, looking at how thoughts affect feelings, and noticing ways to respond differently to old habits.
For parenting concerns she focuses on practical strategies that fit family life and parenting goals. Amanda has eight years' experience and holds NCPS, which denotes her professional registration. She is comfortable supporting people from different backgrounds, including LGBT clients and those coping with caregiving stress or career pressures.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time to meet. Amanda aims to make the first steps simple so people can begin working on the changes they want.

How Amanda blends relationship work and online therapy
Amanda commonly uses attachment-based work to look at how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. This approach helps people notice patterns in close relationships and try new ways of relating that reduce conflict and distance.She also draws on client-centred counselling which focuses on listening and building a trusting, non-judgemental working relationship. That style helps people set their own goals and move at a pace that feels right for them.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Amanda will discuss which methods match a person’s needs, goals and preferences and she will adapt the work as progress is made. The choice is collaborative and can change over time.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or limited local options. Video calls give a face-to-face feel while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when shorter, written support fits better into a day. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around family and work commitments.
