About Amanda
Amanda Bouvier welcomes people seeking practical support for life’s pressures. She works with adults and teenagers who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and stress. Amanda is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of experience in therapeutic settings.
She uses plain conversation and focused listening to help people understand what is happening for them. Sessions look at feelings, past experiences and everyday patterns that get in the way of change.
Background and approach
Amanda pays close attention to attachment and how relationships shape emotional responses. Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. These methods are used to help people name difficult emotions, learn new ways of relating to thoughts, and make small changes that matter day to day.
Amanda has supported people dealing with parenting stress, caring responsibilities, adoption and foster care issues, and the loss of a loved one including pets. She also has experience with autism spectrum conditions, ADHD and intimacy-related concerns. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging, which can suit different routines and needs.

Online support
How Amanda blends therapy approaches online
Amanda often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and shift painful emotional patterns in close relationships. EFT focuses on naming emotions and changing interaction habits that keep people stuck.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and commit to small, value-led actions. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes by building more flexible responses to inner experience.
Attachment-Based Therapy is another influence, looking at how early bonds shape current feelings and relationship reactions. This can help when dealing with abandonment, attachment issues or repeated relationship struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and can adapt the focus as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversation and visual connection, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat or texting suit quick check-ins or shorter sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or busy days.
