About Amanda
Amanda Salvara is a counsellor with five years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. She holds BACP, which recognises her professional standing with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Amanda focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression and relationship concerns.
Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients name patterns of thought and behaviour that cause harm. Sessions aim to clarify where a person is now and what they want to change. Practical steps and small experiments are often used between meetings to test new ways of coping.
Amanda uses a flexible, integrative approach that draws on several evidence-informed methods. She pays attention to how past experiences and current circumstances interact. Work can include developing emotion regulation skills, adjusting unhelpful thinking, and practising mindful awareness of moment-to-moment experience.
Money and financial issues are among the areas she addresses alongside life transitions, self-esteem, midlife questions and multicultural concerns. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment wounds, body image, guilt and shame, and the effects of sexual assault and abuse.
Clients who choose Amanda usually want a practical, values-led approach. The sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. If you want to explore change step by step, she will help you map options and test what works in everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Amanda draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and learning to make space for difficult thoughts while still acting in ways that matter to you. CBT helps identify and test thinking patterns that keep problems in place and teaches practical skills to change them.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit your goals and preferences. That could mean drawing more on ACT one week and using CBT techniques another week, depending on what you and she agree will be most useful.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow regular check-ins between commitments. It also supports shorter or more focused meetings when needed, and lets a person try techniques in their everyday context with support from a therapist. Registered or accredited professionals can guide you on what will best match your needs and daily routine.
