About Amanda
Amanda Lacey is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress and anxiety, family concerns, grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. She also supports people addressing guilt and shame and related issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and communication problems.
Amanda keeps sessions straightforward. She listens to what feels most pressing and helps people name the thoughts and feelings that get in the way. Conversations look at patterns that maintain distress and practical steps to change them. She uses evidence-informed approaches including cognitive behavioural ideas and narrative techniques.
Her style includes exploring meaning and values when that helps someone make sense of difficult feelings. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help notice unhelpful thoughts and reduce reactivity. When trauma has played a role, she draws on trauma-focused principles to keep work paced and manageable.
Sessions combine careful listening with work on practical skills. People leave with clearer ways to respond to guilt, shame and anxiety rather than getting stuck in them. Amanda encourages small, steady changes and checks progress each time.
She offers sessions in English and works from a UK practice. Before booking, people are asked to complete a short questionnaire to match their needs and arrange an initial appointment. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
Approaches in online sessions and what they do
Amanda draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to map links between thoughts, feelings and actions. This helps people spot thinking patterns that keep guilt or anxiety active and test new behaviours to reduce overthinking.She also uses narrative therapy to help people reframe difficult stories about themselves. That work focuses on separating a person from the problem and finding different ways to describe past events and current struggles.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will talk with clients about what feels helpful and adapt methods to match their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where small adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
The original biography does not list which online formats are used, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer these practical benefits to help therapy fit everyday routines.
