About Amanda

Amanda Bouvier is a UK-based therapist who has worked with adults and teenagers in therapeutic settings since 2010, bringing 15 years of experience to one-to-one, couples, and family work. She meets people from a wide range of backgrounds and has extensive experience supporting clients within the LGBTQ+ community as well as those from diverse ethnic backgrounds.

Amanda has worked with many issues including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, unresolved childhood and attachment concerns, abandonment, grief after the loss of a human or animal loved one, miscarriage and still-birth, and the stresses of caring for a family member. She also supports clients facing work or study pressure, age-related transitions, autism spectrum conditions and ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, self-esteem and intimacy-related concerns, and a broad range of family and communication challenges.

Her practice combines relational sensitivity with evidence-informed approaches to help people explore difficult emotions and make meaningful changes. Amanda holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to professional standards. She recognises that contacting a therapist can feel daunting and aims to offer a compassionate, understanding space to help clients clarify what they want to change in their lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values and taking steps toward a more meaningful life. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and coping with ongoing challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that start in early life and explores how those patterns affect current relationships - it can be especially useful for couple work, family difficulties, and issues linked to abandonment or attachment. Client-Centered Therapy offers a non-directive, empathetic approach that prioritises the client’s own experience, creating a respectful space to explore identity, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Amanda Bouvier works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts her style as the work evolves.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility - it makes sessions easier to schedule around work, family, and other commitments and allows people to access a registered professional from different locations. These options support continuity of care and allow Amanda to offer consistent therapeutic support in a way that suits each person’s life and circumstances.
