Amanda Le Tissier , NCPS

Amanda Le Tissier is a UK-licensed therapist with 25 years of professional experience who offers an integrated, compassionate approach to mental health and wellbeing. She has supported people facing stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, loss and grief including pet bereavement, addiction, anger, relationship difficulties, motivation and low self-esteem. Her practice combines interventions from different schools of therapy, with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Cognitive Analytical Therapy forming the core of her work, and additional training as an Inner Child practitioner.

Amanda believes that each person is the expert of their own story and that many strengths already exist within someone to help navigate life's challenges. She works collaboratively to help clients identify the changes they want and to build practical skills and insight that support those goals. Her choice to become a therapist was shaped by personal experience of overcoming trauma and loss, and she draws on that background to offer empathy and encouragement to others taking the often-difficult first steps toward change.

Amanda holds NCPS as a professional credential, noted here to indicate formal training and professional recognition. She typically works with clients via video, telephone, or live chat and messaging, though she is not currently accepting new clients.

Approaches that guide online therapy sessions

Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; this approach is useful for problems such as anxiety, depression, low motivation, and sleep difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on increasing psychological flexibility by helping people clarify values and learn practical skills to manage difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be especially helpful for stress, avoidance, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the therapeutic relationship, creating a non-judgmental space where clients can explore issues like relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and grief.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself - Amanda collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as the relationship and goals evolve.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility, allowing people to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations and to choose the format that best suits their schedule and communication style. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice therapeutic skills between sessions.
