About Amanda

Amanda Le Tissier is a counsellor registered with NCPS with 25 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief and relationship problems. Amanda also helps people who struggle with anger, low self-esteem, sleep difficulties and coping with life changes.

Amanda practises an integrative approach and draws most often on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Analytical Therapy. She also uses elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when these suit a person's needs. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon or lengthy theory.

Her background includes personal experience of trauma and loss, which shaped her decision to become a counsellor. She describes clients as having resources they can build on, and works in ways that help people notice and use those strengths. Work often includes looking at past patterns, testing new behaviours and learning coping strategies for difficult emotions.

Amanda offers sessions by video, telephone or live chat and messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Cost varies with location, and international clients are not accepted.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first session. The initial stage aims to clarify what matters most and to agree practical next steps for the coming sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Amanda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT helps people look at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical techniques for testing unhelpful beliefs and trying different responses. ACT focuses on values and taking meaningful action despite difficult emotions, and it can be useful when someone is unsure what matters next.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda treats approach selection as collaborative and reviews what is helping during the first sessions. She will suggest methods based on a person's goals and preferences and then adjust the plan as progress is observed.

The biography lists video, telephone and live chat or messaging as session options. Please confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists who work this way aim to focus on concrete steps, skills practice and clear plans that people can use between sessions.
