About Amanda
Amanda Bouvier is a counsellor with 15 years' experience supporting adults and teenagers. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, depression and grief, and those coping with parenting, career pressures or life transitions. Amanda is experienced with ADHD and autism spectrum concerns and has worked with people from LGBT backgrounds.
She uses straightforward, practical conversations to help clients understand and manage difficult feelings. Sessions often look at how past relationships shape current struggles and at steps a person can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Amanda draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-based work to find what helps each person move forward. She has worked with people after bereavement, including the loss of a pet, and with those facing long-term caring responsibilities or chronic illness. She also supports people dealing with issues around body image, eating, intimacy and communication.
Work may include looking at patterns that cause distress and trying new ways of coping that fit daily life. Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through their concerns and identify manageable next steps. Amanda explains options and collaborates on goals so the work is practical and grounded in the client’s priorities.
She practices in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. If you are unsure whether her approach fits your needs, use the site's Start Therapy button to match and schedule an initial appointment.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work
Amanda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred ways of working. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports taking small steps that align with personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect present connections and helps people understand and change those patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda discusses different methods with each person and chooses what fits their goals, preferences and life situation. This collaborative process means techniques can be adapted as therapy progresses so the plan stays practical and relevant.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats when booking as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a quieter check-in during a shorter break. It also makes it possible for international clients to work with registered or accredited professionals without relocating. The therapist will talk through how to structure session times and tasks so the work integrates with everyday life.
