About Amanda

Amanda Le Tissier is a counsellor with 25 years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties. She works in a straightforward, compassionate way and encourages clients to use their own strengths when facing life’s challenges. Amanda holds NCPS, which is shown as her professional credential.

She offers a blended approach that draws on several therapies. Cognitive behavioural therapy and cognitive analytical techniques feature strongly in her work. She also incorporates elements from acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy and emotionally-focused approaches when these fit a person’s needs.

Amanda aims to make sessions practical and focused on everyday life. She helps people address sleep problems alongside grief, trauma, addiction, anger and relationship difficulties. Sessions look at unhelpful patterns, build coping skills and practise small changes that add up over time.

Her own experience of loss and recovery informs her style and underpins a gentle, understanding presence in the room. Amanda emphasises collaboration - she sees the client as the expert on their life and supports them in finding steps that feel achievable.

To begin, Amanda asks people to select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability. She offers sessions in English and works from the United Kingdom.

How Amanda uses therapy approaches online

Amanda often draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and trying small experiments to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Acceptance and commitment therapy encourages clear values and flexible action; it can help people live with difficult feelings while working towards meaningful goals. Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Amanda works together with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can be revisited as therapy progresses. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions without being on camera for those who prefer that. Registered or accredited professionals often use online therapy to help people maintain consistency and apply new skills in real life.
