About Amanda
Amanda Guest is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and low self-esteem. She supports people dealing with life changes, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and helps those managing mood conditions such as depression and bipolar.
Amanda aims to offer a calm, respectful space where clients can start to make changes that matter to them. She takes a person-focused approach in sessions, treating each client as an individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Conversations are collaborative and practical. Amanda listens, reflects, and helps people find small steps that fit their lives. Amanda draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and work with strong feelings in relationships and personal life.
She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas to build trust and explore how early patterns affect present choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when clients want clear, skills-based ways to manage thoughts and behaviours. With eight years of experience and the credential NCPS, Amanda brings steady support for common and complex concerns.
She works with issues from eating and body image to substance use and compassion fatigue, and covers both emotional and practical struggles. Her style is warm, straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change. If a person is ready to start, Amanda encourages taking the first step and scheduling a session.
The aim is to make therapy useful and workable, not one more thing on a busy to-do list.

Online support
Online approaches that focus on feelings and attachment
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with powerful emotions that affect relationships and personal wellbeing. It is useful when strong feelings get in the way of communication or closeness.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current patterns in relationships and coping. It helps people notice repeating habits and try gentler ways of connecting with others and themselves.
Client-Centred Therapy puts the client’s experience at the centre and relies on careful listening and empathy. This approach is helpful for building trust, exploring goals, and making therapy feel manageable.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and agree a plan together. Sessions can adapt over time as needs and priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging lets people write when it fits their day. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work and family commitments while keeping the focus on real change.
