Amanda Wild, BACP

Amanda Wild is a counsellor with eight years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She also helps with trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem and parenting concerns. Amanda works with issues that arise now and those linked to past events, and she offers support around ageing and geriatric issues.

Amanda is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she follows in her day-to-day practice. She trained as an integrative therapeutic counsellor and also practises as a supervisor. That background means she draws on several ways of working rather than sticking to one method.

Sessions tend to focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. Amanda listens to people's stories and helps them identify manageable steps forward. She uses both short-term, goal-focused work and longer-term talking therapy depending on the issue and the client's preference.

In practical terms, Amanda is experienced with survivors of sexual and domestic abuse and with clients who prefer either brief or extended therapy. Her style is straightforward and collaborative; she helps clients make sense of difficult feelings and plan changes that fit their life.

People who choose Amanda can expect a calm, respectful space to talk and to set realistic goals. She encourages clear, gradual progress and checks in regularly to adapt the work as needs change.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online therapy

Amanda integrates client-centred work and cognitive behavioural methods to help people online. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience, helping them feel heard and then find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms such as anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest ways of working that are most likely to help. That collaborative process means methods can be adapted as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue regular work when life circumstances change, while allowing the therapist and client to agree on the best pace and structure for their work.
