Amanda Guest , NCPS

Amanda Guest is a professional counsellor based in the United Kingdom who brings a calm, person-focused approach to therapy. With the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification that reflects formal training in the field, she supports people working through addictions, trauma and abuse, as well as concerns around motivation, self-esteem and general mental health.

Amanda emphasizes the importance of respectful, nonjudgmental space where individuals can explore the changes they want to make and the growth they hope to achieve. She approaches each person as an individual, tailoring sessions to their needs and prioritizing collaboration within the counselling relationship. Her practice values listening, mutual respect and practical strategies to help clients build confidence and resilience.

Those taking initial steps toward change are acknowledged for their efforts, and Amanda aims to create an environment that encourages reflection, learning and gradual progress. Her style blends empathy with structured support so clients can work at a pace that suits them while addressing the issues that matter most.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Amanda draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps address issues like abandonment, trust and intimacy by building safer ways of relating. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, a supportive, non-directive approach that emphasizes empathy and acceptance to help clients find their own solutions and strengthen self-worth. Additionally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviors.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Amanda works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These options support continuity of care and make it possible to engage in therapy in formats that feel most comfortable and practical for the individual.
