Amanda Wild, BACP

Amanda draws on a few complementary approaches to shape online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating an open space where people can talk at their own pace; it helps when someone needs acceptance and time to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to reduce unhelpful patterns and improve day-to-day functioning. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will talk with each person about their needs and goals, and together they decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process allows techniques to be adjusted as things change. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility for different routines and practical constraints, while allowing the same therapeutic approaches to be used across formats.
