Amanda Wiffen, BACP

Amanda Wiffen is a trained counsellor based in the United Kingdom who creates a calm, approachable space where clients can move at their own pace. She is warm by nature and uses a gentle manner to help people feel at ease while they explore challenging feelings and life situations. Her aim is to provide space for reflection and exploration so clients can begin to feel more in control of their future. When the path feels overwhelming she offers guidance and can suggest practical resources to use between sessions if that is helpful. Amanda works collaboratively with each person, remaining alongside them throughout the process as they take steps forward.

Amanda has experience supporting people with stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, parenting difficulties, low moods, ADHD, autism, loss and grief, workplace issues, and related concerns. She holds BACP membership - a professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK that indicates adherence to recognised professional standards - and combines empathic listening with practical tools to help clients clarify goals and build coping skills.

Approaches and Online Support with Amanda

Amanda often draws on attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, and mindfulness therapy in her work. Attachment-based therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses - it can be useful for people dealing with relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, or long-standing patterns of relating to others. Client-centered therapy focuses on providing unconditional, nonjudgemental listening and supports clients to find their own solutions and build self-understanding - it is helpful for those seeking a collaborative, person-led process. Mindfulness therapy teaches practical attention and grounding skills to help manage stress, anxiety, low mood, and overwhelming emotions.

Amanda approaches the choice of method as a collaborative process. She works with each client to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques and pacing to suit the person she is supporting. This means the therapeutic path evolves together rather than being imposed.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility needs. These formats allow regular access to a registered professional from a convenient location and can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into busy lives.
