Amanda Thomson

Amanda Thomson is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She is a BACP counsellor with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Amanda aims to create a calm space where people can talk things through at a pace that suits them.

Amanda works with issues including grief, depression, family difficulties and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people facing sleep problems, anger, career pressures and neurodiverse challenges such as ADHD or autism traits. She has experience addressing a wide range of additional concerns including abandonment, attachment issues, body image, codependency and chronic illness impact.

Her approach is practical and person-centred. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now, and on building skills and strategies that fit everyday life. She adapts conversation and plans to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Amanda describes her work as respectful and compassionate. She aims to help people gain perspective, manage difficult feelings and move toward clearer goals. The aim is for clients to feel more able to cope and, over time, to act more confidently in daily life.

To start, Amanda asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. The practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and sessions are offered in English within the United Kingdom.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Amanda works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding feelings and building practical skills. One common approach she uses involves structured conversations that identify patterns in thinking and behaviour and then develop small, useful changes to try in daily life. This helps with anxiety, low mood and stress by giving clear steps to test between sessions.

Another approach emphasises exploring life events and relationships to understand how they affect feelings now. This kind of work helps with grief, attachment issues and relationship difficulties by making connections and finding new ways to respond to old patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will work with each person to decide what feels most helpful based on their goals and experience. She adapts plans as progress is made so the work stays relevant and practical.

The original profile does not list the therapist's session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work often helps people fit therapy into busy lives, for example by removing travel time, making it easier to attend during a lunch break or allowing for shorter check-in sessions when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor sessions to your schedule and goals to make therapy manageable alongside everyday life.
