Amanda "Mandy" Roberts, NCPS

Amanda "Mandy" Roberts helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She works with issues such as relationship strain, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem and grief. Mandy also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, ADHD, compassion fatigue and LGBT-related concerns. She is Amanda Roberts, and she holds the NCPS credential. Mandy uses a person-centred style that keeps the client in charge of pace and focus. Sessions often begin with what feels most pressing in the present. When it seems helpful, she can gently explore deeper patterns such as attachment and past wounds. She balances present-focused strategies with exploration when clients want that. Practical tools are part of her work. Mandy commonly uses elements from cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness to help people feel steadier day to day. She may introduce simple exercises and short meditations to use between sessions. The aim is to make small, manageable changes that add up. For people who want to look deeper, some sessions can include attachment-based work and emotion-focused techniques. That can help with longstanding patterns around intimacy, abandonment or communication. Mandy keeps the work paced to each person’s comfort and readiness. Her practice is flexible in structure. Clients choose how often to meet and may pause or stop when it feels right. Mandy supports people through practical coping, exploring underlying feelings, and building skills to move forward more confidently.

How Mandy uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match your values. It can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviours and teaches practical exercises to change them, which is useful for sleep issues, stress and mood problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns from early relationships and how they affect current intimacy and communication difficulties, helping people understand repeated relationship struggles.

Picking the right approach is part of the work together. Mandy will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods that suit their situation. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are good for conversational therapy and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical help and emotional progress.
