Amanda Le Tissier, NCPS

Amanda Le Tissier uses a blend of human-centred and evidence-based approaches to help people through hard times. She has 25 years of experience in mental health and counselling and works with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief and relationship difficulties. Amanda holds NCPS and practises from the United Kingdom. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Her work focuses on practical steps that fit into everyday life. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred ideas alongside tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Sessions aim to build skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication and changing unhelpful patterns.

Amanda believes people already have many strengths that help them change. She helps clients notice those strengths and practise new ways of coping. That might include short skills work, exploring past experiences that keep problems going, or trying new behaviours between sessions.

Her own experiences of loss and trauma shape a compassionate, down-to-earth approach. She offers calm, steady support while encouraging practical change. Appointments can be arranged to suit the client’s schedule and communication style.

Working with Amanda typically begins by matching on a short questionnaire and booking a session. She aims to walk alongside people as they take the first steps toward feeling more able and in control.

How Amanda's approaches translate to online therapy

Amanda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and is often used for depression, anxiety and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods collaboratively. Sessions often combine talking, practical exercises and homework tasks so therapy fits the person's life and aims.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily routines while still accessing experienced therapists and registered or accredited professionals.
