About Amanda

Amanda Wayling-Yates works with stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes using a person-centred approach. She is credentialed with the NCPS and has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Amanda works from the belief that each person knows their own story. She listens and reflects what she hears to help clients notice strengths and options. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking and finding ways to manage day-to-day pressures. This can include looking at work stress, relationship worries, grief or changes in family life.

She has experience supporting people with mood problems such as depression and bipolar, and difficulties with sleep, eating and concentration. Amanda also addresses issues around identity and sexual orientation, and common workplace strains including compassion fatigue and burnout. Her additional focus areas include attention differences such as ADHD, social anxiety and autistic traits.

In session she uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means the conversation is led by the client and the counsellor reflects back what is important. Clients set the pace and topics. Amanda aims to help people clarify goals and try small changes between sessions.

If someone wants to begin, she asks them to use the service matching questionnaire and book an initial appointment. Amanda works in English and practises in the United Kingdom.

How Amanda uses Client-Centred approaches for online sessions

Amanda uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on the client leading the conversation while the counsellor reflects back what matters. This approach helps people clarify feelings, consider options and decide small steps to try between meetings. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.

Her work emphasises listening and collaboration. The counsellor will help the client identify goals and suggest ways to work towards them, but decisions about pace and topics are made together. Finding the right approach is part of the process and may be adjusted as needs and preferences become clearer.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before you book. Online sessions can make fitting counselling into a busy week easier and reduce travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer flexibility to choose audio or video depending on what suits the person that day. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and practical tasks to work well in remote sessions.
