Amanda Thomson , BACP

Amanda Thomson is a UK-based therapist with four years of professional experience supporting people through periods of stress, anxiety, relationship difficulty, family conflict, and bereavement. She works from a foundation of respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans around each person’s individual needs and goals. Amanda encourages clients to take the brave step toward change and offers steady support and empowerment throughout that process.

Amanda recognises that life can sometimes feel overwhelming and that the reasons for distress are not always clear. She provides a warm, accepting space where issues can be explored at a pace that suits the client, helping to build perspective, insight, and practical ways to move forward. Her approach is adaptable so that therapy can focus on understanding underlying patterns, working toward specific goals, or developing coping skills as required.

She is affiliated with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Amanda aims to treat each person respectfully and will work with clients in a personal and professional manner until they feel equipped to continue independently.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Amanda draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine skill-building and exploratory work to address common concerns. One approach focuses on practical skills and strategies to manage symptoms of stress and anxiety - helping clients develop routines, coping exercises, and problem-solving tools that can reduce day-to-day overwhelm.

Another strand of her work emphasises reflective, relationship-focused exploration to support people dealing with family conflict, grief, intimacy concerns, or relational patterns. This type of work helps clients clarify emotions, improve communication, and make considered decisions about relationships and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda works together with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adapting methods over time so the therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Amanda is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, reduce travel time, and allow clients to engage in ways that suit their comfort and lifestyle while working with a licensed professional.
