Amanda Wiffen

Amanda Wiffen is a counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety and life changes. She works at a steady pace and aims to make talking about hard things feel calmer and more manageable. Amanda offers a warm, steady presence while you work out what feels right for you.

She frames sessions so someone can explore worries and decide on next steps. Amanda listens without rushing and will suggest practical resources when they may help between meetings. Her approach is collaborative rather than directive, so people keep control of their goals.

Amanda has worked in the UK for three years and holds BACP registration, which means she meets professional standards with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her background includes helping with parenting pressures, family tensions and relationship worries, as well as workplace stress and compassion fatigue.

She also supports people facing grief, loss and the effects of trauma and abuse. Amanda has experience with neurodiversity matters such as ADHD and autism, and with concerns about body image, attachment and communication problems. She adapts conversations to what each person needs that day.

Sessions centre on practical steps and reflective listening. Amanda may offer strategies to cope between meetings and helps people notice patterns that have been holding them back. Her focus is on small, steady changes that build confidence over time.

Therapeutic approaches for remote support

Amanda draws on attachment-based and client-centred approaches to guide remote work. Attachment-based ideas help people recognise patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect present feelings. Client-centred work focuses on listening closely and following the pace each person needs, so the conversation stays relevant to immediate concerns.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without judgement. Mindfulness can be useful for managing anxiety, stress and overwhelming moments between sessions. These approaches often combine to help with relationship issues, grief and coping with life changes.r>
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and she will adjust methods as the relationship develops. That collaboration helps decide whether to emphasise reflection, practical exercises or calming practices.
