Amanda "Mandy" Roberts, NCPS

Amanda "Mandy" Roberts is a counsellor with 14 years of practice experience. She offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and life changes. Mandy also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue and challenges linked to illness and ageing.

Mandy works in a person-centred way, which means sessions follow the client’s pace and priorities. Many people begin by focusing on what is happening now. When someone is ready, the work can look deeper at long-standing patterns and attachment questions. She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to help people feel steadier day to day.

Her approach is flexible rather than fixed. Sometimes she offers short meditations or practical exercises to use between meetings. At other times the work focuses on naming and feeling hard emotions so they lose their hold. The aim is to build resilience and help people move forward in less toxic ways.

Mandy speaks openly about grief, trauma and abandonment issues and will meet those topics carefully. She also supports people dealing with body-image worries, cancer-related distress, eating issues and fatherhood or parenting strains where those come up in individual work.

Sessions are paced to the individual. People can take time, change direction, pause or stop when that feels right. The practical focus is on what helps each person manage day-to-day life more clearly and with more self-compassion.

How Mandy’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without trying to fight them, then focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, grief and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with trust, intimacy and abandonment concerns in adult life. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on what the person brings to each session, offering empathic listening and space to make sense of problems in their own time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mandy uses the first sessions to understand a person’s goals and preferences and then tries methods that suit those aims. She will talk things through and adapt the plan as needed, so therapy feels collaborative rather than prescriptive.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, medical appointments or caregiving duties. Some people use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, while others prefer longer conversations for deeper exploration. Mandy may offer short practical exercises and guided meditations that fit into busy weeks, helping clients carry the work into everyday life.
