About Amanda

Amanda "Mandy" Roberts works with stress, anxiety, relationships, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, grief and a broad range of life changes. She uses person-centred methods and practical strategies to help people cope with what is happening now, while also offering ways to look at longer-standing patterns if that feels useful. Mandy is registered with NCPS and has 14 years of clinical experience.

Mandy keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She often focuses on present-day difficulties and on practical skills such as cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness exercises to bring more calm and clarity. When clients want to look deeper she may use attachment-based ideas to understand patterns that started earlier in life.

Clients may be offered elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to help manage strong emotions and to build day-to-day coping. The emphasis is on learning small, workable steps that can be used between sessions, like short meditations or coping exercises tailored to each person.

Mandy describes her way of working as flexible and guided by the client. She supports people who are dealing with relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD and a range of other concerns listed in her specialisms. She also works with matters such as body image, codependency, divorce and fatherhood issues.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session.

How Mandy uses different approaches in online counselling

Amanda often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to focus on actions that match their values. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and when making difficult life choices.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and emotional responses that began earlier in life. This helps when intimacy, trust or repeated relationship problems are a concern.

The process of finding the right approach is collaborative. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then agree on which methods to try together. Adjustments are made as the work continues so the approach fits the person rather than the other way around.

Practical benefits of online counselling should be checked directly with Mandy because the biography does not list session formats. Confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when a full in-person session would be difficult. It can also make it simpler to use audio-only check-ins if video is not convenient.
