Amanda Webster , NCPS

Amanda Webster is a licensed therapist based in the United Kingdom who brings four years of professional experience to her work. She holds the NCPS credential, which indicates formal training and qualification in counselling and psychotherapy, and she supports people facing a wide range of challenges. Her practice focuses on areas such as stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating disorders, depression, addictions, ADHD and autism, and the needs of LGBTQ+ clients, particularly those navigating gender transition.

Amanda builds a therapeutic relationship around an open, non-judgemental atmosphere where clients are invited to share their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. She adapts her methods to each person, drawing on evidence-informed approaches to address issues including relationships, family concerns, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem, and career-related stress. She also works with needs related to parenting, intimacy, bereavement, and complex presentations such as bipolar symptoms and co-morbidity.

Practical strategies are part of Amanda's day-to-day guidance. She often encourages breaking tasks into manageable steps and pausing for a brief breathing exercise or five-minute stretch before moving on, taking regular breaks to recharge, and ending the day with a walk plus a boundary to stop working after 7 pm. Amanda emphasizes that change is gradual and that small, consistent adjustments can lead to meaningful improvements in wellbeing. She aims to help people uncover their strengths, build resilience, and move toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Amanda combines several well-established therapeutic approaches to meet a wide range of concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and early patterns of connection, exploring how attachment experiences shape current interpersonal difficulties and helping to build more secure ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering practical tools to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns associated with depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will work together with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve. This means therapy is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy lives or who prefer remote sessions. Amanda provides support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit appointments into daily routines, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity of support between sessions.
