About Amanda
Amanda "Mandy" Roberts helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship worries, sleep problems, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues linked to identity including LGBT concerns. She also supports people facing career changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and intimacy or communication difficulties.
Mandy works to create a calm, accepting space where clients can talk at their own pace and name what feels hard right now. Mandy uses a person-centred style that keeps the client’s goals at the centre of each session.
Background and approach
She often starts with present-day problems and practical strategies, such as cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness exercises. If a client wants to look deeper, she may gently explore past patterns and attachment issues to understand repeated emotional reactions. Occasionally Mandy offers guided meditations to practise between meetings.
She places emphasis on noticing and sitting with difficult feelings rather than pushing them away. That work aims to build steadiness and reduce reactive behaviours over time. Mandy describes the pace as flexible.
Clients can focus on one immediate problem or move between topics week to week. She encourages people to progress at whatever speed feels manageable and to re-evaluate goals as they go. Mandy holds the NCPS credential and has 14 years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted; please confirm current session options before booking.

How Mandy’s approaches translate to online therapy
Amanda often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and on identifying values to guide small practical steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in relationships and how those patterns shape current reactions and needs; it can help people understand why they repeat certain behaviours or feel unsafe with closeness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Mandy aims to collaborate on what feels most useful, testing techniques and checking in about what helps. She adapts the mix of present-focused skills and deeper attachment exploration to match each person’s goals and pace.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or allowing a shorter check-in during a break at work. It can also make it simpler to use practices such as guided meditations between sessions or to join from another location when that is more convenient. The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm the current session options before booking. Working online can still involve practical skills, reflective conversation and paced exploration of past patterns, all shaped around the client’s needs.
