About Amanda
Amanda Wayling-Yates is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and parenting concerns. She works with issues such as anger, motivation, coping with life changes, grief and relationship difficulties. Amanda has six years of professional experience and holds NCPS credentialing.
Her approach starts from the belief that each person knows their own story best. She listens with curiosity and without judgement. Sessions focus on the client's goals and practical steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Amanda commonly supports people facing workplace strain, sleep or eating difficulties, and challenges related to ADHD, bipolar and mood conditions. She also addresses trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, compassion fatigue and issues linked to identity such as LGBT matters. In the room she uses client-centred therapy, which foregrounds the client’s perspective and priorities.
That means Amanda follows the client’s lead while offering reflections, questions and gentle challenges to open up new choices. Practical tools are mixed with space to talk things through. Clients may work on managing panic, reducing anger, improving communication or rebuilding confidence.
Amanda aims to make sessions straightforward and grounded in everyday life. If someone is unsure how to begin, she invites a short conversation to clarify goals and match expectations. The initial steps focus on small, achievable changes and building on existing strengths.

How Amanda's Client-Centred Approach Works Online
Amanda uses client-centred therapy as her main approach. This method focuses on listening closely and following the client's agenda. It helps when someone needs to feel heard, make sense of emotions, and decide practical next steps for worries like anxiety, parenting strain or low mood.The therapist will work collaboratively to find the right fit between style and goals. Amanda will ask about what matters most, try different ways of working and adjust the approach over time. Finding the right method is treated as a shared process rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and more direct interaction. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective writing or flexible schedules. These options make it easier to attend therapy around work, childcare and daily life while keeping therapy accessible for different needs.
