Amanda Kwesiga , BACP

Seeking support can take courage, and Amanda Kwesiga offers compassionate, professional counselling for people navigating difficult moments. She is a qualified counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), and she works in a relational way that places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the work.

Amanda is committed to creating a space marked by warmth, empathy, and nonjudgement, where clients' voices are heard and respected. Her aim is to build an honest, open therapeutic connection and to collaborate with clients in working toward their personal goals. Therapy may mean different things to different people - whether a client needs to be listened to, wishes to make changes, or wants to unpack past experiences, Amanda adapts her pace and approach to fit each individual's needs, holding regular reviews to ensure progress aligns with those needs.

Her client-centered training underpins her practice and reflects a belief that clients are the experts on their own lives; Amanda supports people in reaching understandings that feel authentic to them. She also recognises that one size does not fit all and therefore draws on elements from other approaches when appropriate. Her experience includes working with trauma, including survivors of domestic abuse, stalking, and coercive control, and supporting people with a range of mental health challenges, substance dependency, workplace concerns, and spiritual exploration. She has a particular interest in disenfranchised grief and supporting those whose losses are not widely recognised. Ultimately, Amanda accompanies clients as they take steps toward change and personal growth, and she looks forward to meeting new people seeking support.

Client-Centered Care Online and Therapeutic Options

Client-Centered Therapy is rooted in empathy, genuine acceptance, and careful listening. In this approach Amanda places the client's perspective at the heart of the process, helping individuals explore their feelings, build self-understanding, and work through issues such as relationship difficulties, emotional distress, and past experiences at a pace that feels right for them.

She also draws on integrative elements from other approaches when helpful, using practical techniques to address specific concerns alongside the core client-centered stance. This combination can support people who are navigating trauma, grief, identity questions, or changes in life circumstances.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Amanda approaches that discovery collaboratively. She will help clients identify goals and preferences and tailor the way she works to fit those needs, adjusting methods as understanding develops.

Offering sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These online options make it easier for clients to maintain continuity of care, access support from their chosen environment, and choose the format that best suits their day-to-day life while working with a licensed professional.
