About Amanda

Amanda Lacey helps people cope with stress, anxiety and panic symptoms. She also supports those dealing with grief, low self-esteem and challenges around family relationships. Her tone is practical and encouraging, aimed at people who want clearer thinking and steadier days.

Amanda has three years of professional experience and holds NCPS. She focuses on building an open space where clients can say what is on their mind without fear of judgement. Sessions aim to make sense of difficult emotions and to identify small, doable steps forward.

Her approach mixes talking and practical tools. She uses methods that help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses. Mindfulness tools are used to calm strong moments and bring attention back to the present.

Amanda also draws on narrative and existential ideas to help people find meaning in difficult events and to rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves. Trauma-informed thinking is brought in when past events are affecting current life and relationships.

People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation, checked-in goals and a steady focus on what matters to them. She aims to empower clients to make changes that fit their everyday life and values.

Approaches that translate well to online counselling

Amanda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people test and change patterns that increase anxiety or panic. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and steady attention during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda will talk with each person about their needs and goals, and together they decide which methods to try first. She adapts tools based on what feels useful and realistic for everyday life, checking in and adjusting as work progresses.

Practical online benefits often include easier fitting of sessions around work and family commitments and avoiding travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online meetings to maintain regular contact, offer brief check-ins, and support homework between sessions, helping therapy fit into a busy routine.
