About Amanda
Amanda Wayling-Yates is a counsellor with six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing life changes, relationship strain, grief, and difficulties with motivation and confidence.
Amanda works from a client-centred approach that treats each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and building on the client's strengths. This means time is spent understanding the person rather than following a fixed script.
Her background includes helping people with a broad range of concerns such as sleep and eating problems, parenting stresses, workplace issues, and trauma-related difficulties. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood difficulties, panic and social anxiety, and intimacy-related concerns.
Amanda is registered with NCPS, which is shown as NCPS in her credentials. She offers counselling in English and works within the UK context. She does not take international clients at this time.
To start working with Amanda, a simple online matching process is used. A short questionnaire helps pair a person with the right professional, and scheduling is arranged once the match is made. Her approach aims to make sessions practical and focused on what the individual wants to change.
Client-centred work and online counselling options
Amanda uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's experience first. This involves attentive listening, reflecting back what the client says, and helping them notice their own strengths and choices. It suits people who want a supportive space to make sense of feelings and decide what matters next.Her way of working is gentle and collaborative. The therapist will help a client choose the approach that fits best for their goals and situation. Together they review what is helping and what could change as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of online counselling can include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week, avoiding travel time, and keeping momentum between appointments. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when life is busy, while others choose longer sessions for deeper work. Specific session formats should be confirmed before booking, as the profile does not list which formats are offered. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can help people adapt the methods used in sessions to suit home life, work schedules and personal preferences.
