Amanda Wiffen, BACP

Amanda Wiffen is a UK-based counsellor who aims to make difficult conversations feel manageable. She works at a pace that suits each person and focuses on helping them feel more in control of what comes next. Amanda says she is warm and steady, offering practical resources when they are useful and staying alongside clients as they navigate change.

In sessions she creates space to talk through stress, anxiety, low mood, and relationship or family tensions. She also supports people dealing with parenting strains, grief and loss, workplace difficulties, ADHD and autism-related concerns. Her approach is conversational and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on small steps that build stronger everyday habits and thinking patterns.

Amanda draws on client-centred methods that place the person's experience at the heart of the work. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns, and trauma-focused techniques when past harms affect present life. Mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives also inform how she helps clients notice thoughts and feelings and make different choices.

She holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is shown as BACP. Amanda has three years' experience working with people in the UK. Her manner is practical and patient, with a focus on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How Amanda's approaches translate to online counselling

Amanda uses client-centred work that puts the person's experience first, helping them speak about what matters and decide the pace of change. This approach suits people who need space to be heard and want practical ways to build different everyday habits.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current behaviour and feelings. Together this can help with relationship strain, feelings of abandonment, or patterns that repeat in close connections. When past harms are central, trauma-focused work can help people understand how those experiences influence present reactions and coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Amanda works collaboratively to explore which methods feel most helpful for the person's goals and preferences, and she adjusts the focus as the work develops.

Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life - such as taking a shorter check-in during a work break or reducing travel time to an appointment. These practical benefits help many people keep the work going alongside daily commitments.
