Amanda Webster, NCPS

Amanda Webster meets people where they are and helps them get steadier day to day. She offers calm, practical guidance for stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Amanda is straightforward and compassionate, and she aims to make talking about hard things feel manageable.

Amanda uses simple, evidence-based methods that fit each person's needs. Sessions focus on small, doable steps - breaking tasks down, short breathing breaks, and routines that reduce overwhelm. She also supports people struggling with addictions, trauma, anger and grief, as well as those navigating intimacy and self-esteem issues.

She has four years of professional experience and holds NCPS. That background informs a flexible way of working that draws on cognitive and behavioural skills, acceptance-based practices and emotion-focused techniques. Amanda adapts her approach depending on what a person finds most helpful in the room.

Amanda also pays attention to neurodiversity and the needs of LGBT people, along with a wide range of other concerns such as parenting stress, sleeping or eating difficulties, chronic health challenges and career pressure. She explains tools plainly and checks in about what is working.

Therapy with Amanda aims to be collaborative. She will help set clear, realistic goals and review progress regularly. Many people find that small, steady changes build lasting improvement over time.

How Amanda's approaches translate to online therapy

Amanda often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, burnout and coping with life changes.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical method that looks at thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues because it teaches specific skills to change unhelpful routines.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy process. Amanda will discuss different approaches with each person and decide together what feels most useful for their goals and preferences. That collaborative choice is reviewed as the work progresses.

Online sessions offer flexibility across formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins and text-based messaging for ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health needs while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
