About Amanda
Amanda Kwesiga offers calm, steady support for people struggling with low mood and life changes. She provides a welcoming space where clients can be heard and work at a pace that feels right for them. Amanda aims to build an honest, open relationship that helps people reach their goals and make sense of difficult experiences.
Amanda is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She uses a person-centred way of working that starts from the belief that each person knows themselves best.
Background and approach
That approach shapes sessions so the client leads the conversation and explores what feels most important. She also adapts to each person’s needs by drawing on other therapeutic ideas when useful. Sessions often include checking in on progress, reflecting on patterns, and trying small steps that can make daily life easier.
Amanda pays particular attention to grief that is overlooked by others. Amanda has experience supporting people affected by trauma, including survivors of domestic abuse, stalking and coercive control. She has worked with people living with alcohol and drug dependency, those experiencing work-related stress, and people wanting to talk about faith and meaning.
She keeps things straightforward in the room. Conversations are warm and non-judgemental. Amanda aims to help clients find their own understanding and to support practical changes they want to make.

Approaches Amanda lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also brings trauma-aware experience into online work where relevant, offering steady support for people affected by domestic abuse, stalking, coercive control and post-traumatic stress. That means gently working through experiences at a speed the client can manage and checking in regularly about how things are going.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Amanda will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and adapt the way she works to suit the individual. She aims to agree on how sessions will run and review progress together so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, while live chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work from different locations.
