Amanda Walsh , BACP

Amanda Walsh is a UK-credentialed psychotherapist with eight years of clinical experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - the UK professional body that sets standards for counselling and psychotherapy. She works with people experiencing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, and struggles with motivation, self-esteem and confidence. Amanda combines practical support with an empathetic approach so individuals can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace and develop tools for everyday life.

She aims to offer an open, non-judgmental space where taking the first step into therapy is acknowledged as an important act of courage. Amanda supports clients through sensitive issues and life transitions, helping them identify goals and make gradual, sustainable changes. Her practice emphasizes clear communication about the process of therapy and a collaborative working style that responds to each person's needs.

Holding BACP membership signals adherence to recognised professional standards in the UK, and Amanda applies evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address a range of emotional and behavioural concerns.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Therapy Options

Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the issues a person brings. One approach focuses on trauma-informed work that helps people safely explore and process distressing experiences while building coping skills and emotional regulation strategies. Another approach emphasises practical, skills-based work for anxiety, sleep difficulties, and low self-esteem - teaching strategies for managing worry, improving sleep habits, and strengthening self-confidence through structured exercises and behavioural practice. A third emphasis is on targeted behavioural strategies to address compulsions, obsessions and addictive patterns, with a focus on gradual change and skill development.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amanda works collaboratively with each person to identify which techniques align with their needs, goals and preferences, adapting methods over time as progress is made. The collaboration helps ensure that work in therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and location differences, support international clients, and provide multiple ways to communicate according to comfort and practical needs.
