Amanda Walsh , BACP

Amanda Walsh is a UK-based psychotherapist with eight years of professional experience and membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She supports people dealing with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, and challenges around motivation, self-esteem and confidence.

Amanda takes a compassionate, non-judgmental approach, aiming to provide an open space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. She values the courage it takes to begin therapy and works to build a collaborative relationship that helps clients identify practical steps toward greater wellbeing.

Her practice is focused on evidence-informed work that addresses immediate concerns while also looking at underlying patterns that can maintain problems over time. Amanda aims to tailor each session to the individual, blending practical strategies with reflective exploration so clients can develop new skills, restore balance and move forward with renewed confidence. She welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds and supports a wide range of difficulties with thoughtful, person-centred care.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Amanda works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. She frequently uses cognitive and behavioural strategies - practical tools that help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new habits to reduce anxiety, lift low mood and improve sleep. She also draws on trauma-informed approaches that focus on safety, pacing and processing difficult experiences in a way that supports recovery and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Amanda collaborates with each client to assess needs, set goals and adjust methods as therapy progresses, ensuring that interventions fit the client’s priorities, preferences and pace.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives and for those who prefer remote contact. Amanda provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, which allows for scheduling flexibility, easier access from different locations and the option to choose the format that feels most comfortable. Working online with a licensed professional can make consistent, evidence-informed support more achievable for many people.
