How client-centred work translates to online therapy
Amanda uses Client-Centred Therapy, which centres on listening, empathy and the client's own goals. This approach helps when people want to make sense of anxiety, panic, mood shifts or life transitions by following what matters most to them.Her way of working is collaborative. She will work with each person to decide how therapy should proceed, including the pace and the practical steps to try between sessions. Figuring out whether the approach fits is part of the early sessions and can be adjusted as needed.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow people to join from familiar surroundings. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight or audio-only sessions when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt tools and worksheets for remote sessions so practical work can continue between meetings.
