About Amanda

Amanda Osman helps people work through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and ADHD using a person-centred approach. She works in English and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has 12 years of professional experience in the UK.

She describes herself as someone who places the client at the centre of the work. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on recognising personal strengths. Amanda listens to how problems show up in daily life and aims to make time in sessions for clear, practical conversation.

Her practice also draws on Internal Family Systems ideas to help people understand different inner parts and how they relate to one another. This can be useful for people who feel stuck by self-criticism, guilt or recurring emotional patterns. Amanda uses these approaches to help the person notice patterns and try different ways of responding.

She works with specific concerns including communication problems, feelings of isolation or loneliness, and issues commonly described as women’s concerns. Sessions attend to both immediate coping and longer term ways to build confidence and clearer boundaries.

Amanda asks clients to lead the pace of work and she supports them in choosing which topics to focus on. Practical steps and regular reflection are part of the process, with space to revisit goals as they change.

How Client-Centred and Internal Family Systems work online

Amanda uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on what the person wants to bring to sessions and on listening carefully to their concerns. This approach helps with anxiety, low mood and building self-esteem by following the client’s pace and priorities.

She also draws on Internal Family Systems ideas, which look at different parts of a person’s inner life and how they relate to one another. This can help people who struggle with persistent self-criticism, shame or repeating patterns of behaviour by allowing them to notice and work with those parts.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss options with each person and agree what to try based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as goals evolve.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people choose whether to be on camera or use a different setup depending on what works for them.
