About Amanda
Amanda Walsh is a counsellor with a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) credential and eight years of practice in the United Kingdom. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addictions, relationship concerns and issues related to self-esteem and motivation.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions are a space to talk through thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Background and approach
Amanda aims to help people make small, workable changes that fit into daily life. She also works with concerns such as grief, intimacy-related issues, eating difficulties, anger and career stress. Additional focus areas include hoarding, obsessive thoughts, compulsions and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
Amanda is listed with LGBT among her specialties and offers work that is inclusive of diverse sexual and gender identities. Over eight years she has developed ways to support people coping with life changes, bipolar presentations and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Her sessions emphasise listening, practical coping strategies and gradual steps towards clearer goals.
Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and Amanda acknowledges that first step. She encourages people to be honest about what they need and to move at a pace that feels manageable.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One commonly used approach helps people learn skills to manage anxiety and stress through repeated practice and simpler day-to-day strategies. Another approach focuses on understanding and working through traumatic memories and their effects, helping people reduce the hold those memories have on current life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that suit the person, and adjust based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process where the client’s needs and preferences guide decisions about technique and pace.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by removing travel time and allowing sessions around work or family commitments. It can also offer options for shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that do not require being on camera. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered and which best suit your routine.
