About Amanda
Amanda Bouvier is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She works with adults and teenagers on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and stress, and she lists guilt and shame among areas she helps people with.
Amanda spends time with each person to map out what feels most pressing. She talks through problems linked to family and attachment, and supports people facing loss including miscarriage, still-birth and the death of a pet. She also works with adults who have ADHD or are on the autism spectrum, and with people carrying the weight of caregiving roles.
Her approach draws on a few established methods. Amanda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice thoughts and make purposeful choices. She also uses Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas when relationships and early bonds are causing pain.
Sessions focus on practical steps as well as talking. Amanda helps people learn ways to manage anxiety, improve sleep, sort out communication problems, and cope with big life changes. She pays attention to how shame or guilt connect to values and relationships.
People who contact Amanda begin with a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Fees vary with location and are handled through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Therapeutic approaches used and how online sessions can fit
Amanda often works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that align with what matters most to them. ACT can be useful for persistent guilt, shame or anxiety where values feel unclear.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, and to try small practical experiments to change those patterns. Attachment-Based ideas are brought in when early relationships or abandonment issues affect current feelings and connections.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss the options with each person and decide together which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as things move forward.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins or sessions that better suit a work break or caring commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can use these approaches effectively over distance when the format matches a person's practical needs.
