About Amanda
Amanda Guest is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and life changes. She works with issues linked to grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and body-image struggles, parenting strain, career problems, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar.
Amanda also lists LGBT among her focus areas and supports people navigating related challenges. Amanda takes a person-centred approach and aims to give each client respectful space to speak and to be heard.
Background and approach
She describes the therapeutic relationship as collaborative, so people can shape the work around their priorities. The tone in sessions is straightforward and practical, with attention to feelings and patterns that cause distress. Her methods include attachment-based work, client-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy and emotionally-focused ideas.
Amanda also draws on existential perspectives and motivational interviewing to help people find meaning and motivation for change. These approaches are used to address emotions, behaviours and relationship patterns. She has eight years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential, which is shown as NCPS in her profile.
Amanda invites people to reflect on what they want to change and to take small steps towards those goals. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist’s schedule. The profile indicates international clients can be accepted, so language support is offered in English.

How Amanda’s approaches can work online
Amanda uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and reactions; this can help when relationship issues or trust are getting in the way of daily life. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre and focuses on being heard and understood; this helps people who need a calm space to think things through. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and some habits.Finding the right approach is treated as a joint task. Amanda aims to talk with each person about their goals, preferences and how they respond to different ways of working. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt the plan as progress is made.
The profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, cut out travel time and allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Some people find phone or video sessions help keep momentum between face-to-face meetings, and written check-ins can support reflection after sessions. Ask about the available formats to choose one that suits your day-to-day life.
