Amanda Walsh, BACP

Amanda Walsh is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Amanda also supports those struggling with addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and people coping with grief or major life changes.

With eight years of experience, Amanda offers a calm, listening presence where a person can talk through painful memories or day-to-day worries. She focuses on how thoughts and everyday habits shape feelings and behaviour. Sessions aim to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.

In the room she keeps language plain and practical. Conversations move between looking at what happens day to day and understanding the background to current struggles. Amanda pays attention to issues such as obsessive thinking, compulsive behaviours and hoarding when these come up.

She also supports clients facing concerns around identity and sexuality, bipolar mood challenges, career stress and anger. Her approach is collaborative - she helps people set manageable goals and tests small changes between sessions.

Amanda welcomes international clients and runs sessions from the United Kingdom. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How evidence-based approaches help in online therapy

Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts and everyday habits. One common approach looks at how thinking patterns influence mood and behaviour, helping people identify and change unhelpful thoughts. This kind of work is often useful for anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems.

Another approach centres on behavioural experiments and routine changes. It helps people test small changes to sleep, activity or coping habits and see what makes a difference. That approach can be helpful for sleep difficulties, obsessive patterns, hoarding tendencies and motivation problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods that suit the person, and adjust as needed. Amanda works with clients to choose techniques that match their needs and preferences rather than applying a fixed method.

If you are considering online sessions, please check which session formats Amanda currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family life, work breaks or travel, and it can reduce time spent commuting. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that is preferable, so confirm options when you arrange your first appointment.
