Amanda Romano Gutierres, BACP

Amanda Romano Gutierres is a United Kingdom-based therapist with 15 years of professional experience working with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates adherence to professional practice standards and ongoing development.

Amanda approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each client’s unique situation and goals. Her additional focus includes attachment issues, forgiveness, narcissism-related dynamics, post-traumatic stress, and cultivating self-love, allowing her to support both immediate coping needs and longer-term personal growth.

Clients can expect a tailored therapeutic relationship that balances practical strategies with thoughtful exploration of underlying patterns. Amanda recognises that beginning therapy takes courage and she aims to provide a welcoming, patient space to help people take that first step and continue moving forward at a pace that feels right for them.

Evidence-based techniques and flexible online options

Evidence-based techniques are central to Amanda’s practice and are used to address common difficulties such as stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma. One strand focuses on practical, skills-based work that helps people reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and develop coping strategies for day-to-day stress and low mood. Another strand is trauma-informed work that pays careful attention to past experiences and their impact on current relationships and emotional responses, with a focus on building resilience and safety.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Amanda works collaboratively with clients to identify which evidence-based techniques fit best with their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts methods over time and invites client feedback so the approach evolves alongside progress.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent support without travel. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, the ability to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, and the opportunity for ongoing contact between sessions when appropriate, all delivered by registered professionals and therapists experienced in remote work.
