About Amanda
Counsellor (NCPS), 6 years' experience. Amanda Wayling-Yates helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, self‑esteem and career concerns. She also supports those coping with life changes and LGBTQ-related issues. Sessions focus on practical conversation and identifying strengths the client already has.
Amanda works from a client-centred position. She views people as experts in their own stories and uses that as the starting point for conversations. Sessions are conversational and aim to clarify what matters most to the client and which small steps could help them feel steadier.
She has experience with relationship and family matters and with trauma, grief and intimacy-related issues. Amanda also supports people facing eating or sleeping difficulties, parenting stress, bipolar mood concerns, depression and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include ADHD, panic and social anxiety, and workplace or communication problems.
In practice she helps people spot existing resources and try new ways of coping. That can mean working on practical routines, checking unhelpful thought patterns, or practicing different responses to conflict and anger. The emphasis is on short, clear conversations that lead to usable strategies.
Amanda trained to the NCPS standard and has been working in the United Kingdom for six years. People who start with her complete a brief matching form and then arrange a first session to discuss goals and how they want to work together.

How client‑centred work and online sessions fit together
A client‑centred approach means the counsellor follows the person’s lead. Conversations focus on the client’s experience, values and goals. This approach suits people who want to be heard and to build on their own strengths to resolve stress, anxiety, relationship or life‑change issues.In practice Amanda aims for clear, practical conversations that identify small steps and coping strategies. That style is helpful for problems such as low self‑esteem, panic or workplace stress where testing new responses and routines can make a difference. The emphasis is on collaboration about what to try next rather than on directive instruction.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The counsellor will discuss needs, goals and preferences in the first session and together decide how to proceed. This is a collaborative process and can be reviewed as goals change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check‑in during a busy day, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which session pattern will best match a person’s schedule and aims.
