About Amanda
Amanda Lacey is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, family difficulties, grief and low self-esteem. She works with clients who feel stuck or who want more confidence and motivation. Amanda presents herself as a steady presence for anyone ready to take the first steps towards change.
She aims to make the counselling space open and non-judgemental. Clients are invited to talk through thoughts and feelings at a pace that suits them. The focus is on practical steps the person can try between sessions as well as reflection in the room.
Amanda uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy alongside narrative and existential ideas. That means she may help a person spot unhelpful thinking patterns, experiment with small behaviour changes, and reflect on values and life choices. Trauma-focused techniques are also part of her toolkit when past experiences continue to cause distress.
Her background includes three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and the credential NCPS is listed. Amanda emphasises collaboration, so the shape of therapy is agreed with each person she meets. She encourages realistic goals and small steps that fit into everyday life.
People interested in working on family tensions, feelings of emptiness, relationship communication, or issues like guilt and shame can expect straightforward, compassionate conversations. Amanda supports clients to build practical coping skills while exploring what matters most to them.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Amanda often draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new, small behaviours to reduce distress and improve mood. Mindfulness offers simple attention and breathing practices that help ground someone when stress or anxiety feels overwhelming.She also uses narrative and existential ideas to help people make sense of their life story and values. These approaches encourage reflection about meaning and personal choices alongside practical change. Finding the right mix is part of the therapy process and will be decided together based on needs, goals and what feels most useful.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. They can also help people work from a quieter space or avoid the need to be on camera if that feels better. Registered or accredited professionals can use different ways to meet, so check which formats are available when you arrange your first appointment.
