About Amanda
Amanda Wayling-Yates is a counsellor who helps people with stress, anxiety and sleep concerns. She also supports those dealing with anger, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and major life changes. Amanda presents a calm, straightforward approach that focuses on what the client finds helpful right now.
Amanda has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds NCPS. She works from the view that each person knows their life best. Sessions aim to build on existing strengths and practical coping strategies rather than relying on jargon or complex theory.
In a typical meeting Amanda listens without judgement and asks clear questions to help clients spot patterns. She uses client-centred principles to prioritise the client’s goals and pace. That approach suits people who want a collaborative, respectful space to think things through.
For someone worried about sleep, Amanda will look at daily routines, stressors and helpful habits. Conversations may include simple plans to change bedtime routines, manage worry before sleep, and tackle daytime habits that affect rest. The focus is practical and gradual rather than quick fixes.
People seeking support can expect a steady, encouraging presence. Amanda emphasises small steps and realistic goals. She invites clients to try approaches and feedback what works so the process can be shaped around their life.

Amanda uses client-centred principles that place the client’s priorities at the centre of the work. This approach means the therapist listens carefully and helps people name what matters most to them. It is useful for stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties and life transitions because it focuses on practical goals and the client’s own strengths.Finding the right way to work is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss what helps and adapt the pace and topics to the client’s needs and preferences. Together they decide what to try and check in on progress as they go along.
