Amanda Osman, BACP

Amanda Osman is a BACP-registered therapist practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She specialises in helping people manage stress and anxiety, work through trauma and abuse, and build self-esteem while also supporting those facing depression and ADHD. Her additional focus areas include communication problems, feelings of guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and issues affecting women.

Amanda works from the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and brings strengths that can help them move through the difficulties they face. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a UK body that recognises counselling and psychotherapy qualifications. In sessions she creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where emotions and thoughts can be explored at a pace that feels right for the client.

Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life can take courage, and Amanda is prepared to support clients through that process. She combines empathy with practical focus to help people identify goals, build confidence, and develop coping strategies that fit their everyday lives.

Client-Centered and Internal Family Systems for Online Support

Amanda uses client-centered therapy to create a listening space where the client�s perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on empathic understanding and acceptance, helping people gain confidence, clarify values, and address issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety, or depression.

She also draws on Internal Family Systems, a method that understands the mind as made up of distinct parts. By helping clients identify and relate to those parts, this approach can be useful for working with trauma, inner conflict, guilt, and shame in a gentle, structured way.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Amanda treats that as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful given their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility needs. Video calls and phone sessions allow real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging can suit those who prefer written communication or want more frequent check-ins. These options support consistent engagement and make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life.
