About Amanda
Amanda Webster is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and a wide range of other life challenges. She works with neurodivergent clients including those with ADHD and autism and also with people in the LGBT community, particularly those going through transition. Amanda has four years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential.
Amanda creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what feels hard. She prefers plain, practical steps alongside listening. That might mean breaking big tasks into smaller parts, adding short breathing breaks, or building a clearer end-of-work boundary to protect rest.
Her approach is flexible and tailored to each person. She draws on several evidence-informed styles and adapts them to individual needs. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small actions that can fit into everyday life.
Amanda often helps people manage overwhelming emotions and daily routines that feel out of control. She also supports people with grief, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping concerns, chronic pain and long-term illness, and stress linked to caregiving and work.
Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Amanda aims to make that step manageable. She encourages steady, realistic change and works alongside people to uncover strengths and build routines that help with focus, mood and wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Amanda uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with long-term health conditions. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the person’s own goals drive the sessions and the counsellor offers reflection and understanding to build clarity and confidence.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest methods to try. This collaborative exploration means the plan can shift as the person learns what works best for them.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel time, allowing a shorter check-in when schedules are tight, or letting someone choose quieter surroundings that suit them. Many people find that working with a registered professional online helps them maintain consistency while juggling day-to-day demands.
