About Amanda
Amanda Bouvier welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by change, loss, relationship strain, or everyday pressure. She offers a calm, down-to-earth approach that aims to help people make sense of difficult feelings and find ways to cope. Amanda has been working in therapeutic settings since 2010 and brings 15 years of experience to her practice.
She is registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). Amanda listens without judgement and focuses on what matters to each person.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and conversational. She uses her knowledge of several approaches to tailor support to each situation rather than following a one-size-fits-all model. Her past work has included support for people facing anxiety, depression, grief after the loss of a human or animal companion, and the everyday stress of caring for someone.
She also helps people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, autism spectrum challenges, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating or sleeping problems. People have come to Amanda with relationship worries, intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, career strain, and compassion fatigue.
She also offers help for parenting stress, blended family tensions, communication problems, and the impact of serious illness or chronic pain on daily life. Amanda holds experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds, including those in the LGBT community. She aims to create a steady space to talk things through and to work collaboratively on small, manageable steps forward.

Online support
How Amanda's approaches work online
Amanda combines existential ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people make meaning of difficult moments and take practical steps forward. Existential therapy looks at life choices, values and the search for meaning and can help with big transitions and questions about purpose. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings, clarifying what matters to a person, and taking action that aligns with those values to reduce struggling. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns formed in early relationships and helps people understand how those patterns influence current bonds and communication.Finding the right approach is a joint process. Amanda will work together with a person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as needs change. The emphasis is on collaboration and on small, practical steps that feel achievable.
Online work offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when schedules or distance make travel difficult. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are an option for short check-ins, written reflection, or when a more flexible rhythm of contact helps someone fit therapy around work or caregiving. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit sessions into busy lives.
