Amanda Wild

Amanda Wild is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strains. She works with those dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem and body image concerns. Amanda also supports people navigating parenting, career changes and difficult life transitions, including issues linked to narcissism.

Amanda is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often written as BACP. She trained as an integrative therapeutic counsellor and has eight years of experience in short-term and longer-term work. This means she uses a range of approaches and adapts to what each person needs.

In sessions she aims to create a calm space to talk through current problems and past hurts. Conversations often focus on practical steps, clearer thinking about difficult patterns, and ways to manage strong emotions. Amanda also offers supervision alongside her counselling work.

She has direct experience supporting survivors of sexual and domestic abuse and works with people processing trauma symptoms and post-traumatic stress. Amanda combines reflective listening with techniques that help clients build coping skills and regain a sense of control.

People who want to start can expect an open, straightforward approach. Amanda discusses goals early on and reviews progress as therapy continues. She accepts international clients and works in English.

Approaches and how online work can help

Amanda uses client-centred therapy to prioritise the person's own perspective and pace. This approach focuses on being heard and understood, which can help when someone is rebuilding self-worth after abuse or difficult relationships.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is another approach she uses. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood and tackle unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss goals and preferences, then choose or blend methods that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online work, check which session options are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people join from different locations, which supports those living abroad or at a distance from the therapist.
