Amanda Wild, BACP

Amanda Wild is a qualified integrative counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which means she works within the BACP Ethical Framework to maintain professional standards of care. She is also a trained Therapeutic Counsellor and Supervisor and brings eight years of experience supporting people through a wide range of difficulties.

Amanda works with anxiety, depression, anger, relationship concerns, addiction, PTSD and the impacts of abuse, helping clients address challenges that arise in both the present and the past. She has experience in short-term, focused work as well as longer-term therapy and has particular experience supporting survivors of sexual and domestic abuse.

Drawing on an integrative approach, Amanda adapts methods to fit each person’s needs, combining elements from different therapeutic models to help with issues such as self-esteem, eating concerns, parenting and life transitions. Clients can expect a collaborative process that focuses on their goals and practical coping strategies while also exploring deeper patterns when helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Amanda commonly draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to guide her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship and creating a compassionate space where clients can explore their feelings and values; it is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions. CBT offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, making it useful for managing anxiety, depression and problematic coping patterns.

She also uses solution-focused techniques when appropriate, concentrating on clients' strengths and immediate goals to produce concrete steps forward. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey - Amanda works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Amanda is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people balancing work, family or mobility considerations. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, access consistent support from registered professionals, and continue therapy from different locations when needed.
