Amanda Wiffen, BACP

Amanda Wiffen is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps carers and other clients facing stress, anxiety and life changes. She aims to make sessions calm and approachable, working at each person’s pace. Amanda listens first, then offers tools and ideas when they might help. She often gives simple resources to try between meetings.

In sessions she creates a steady space for people to talk about relationships, family tensions and parenting strain. Amanda also supports those coping with grief, loss and low mood. She has experience with ADHD, autism, compassion fatigue and workplace stress.

Her way of working is relational and person focused. She pays attention to attachment patterns and early experiences that still affect day to day life. She also uses mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas to help people feel less overwhelmed by strong feelings.

Amanda has three years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. That means she is recognised by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, as supplied in her details.

People who come to her often want practical steps as well as a listening ear. Amanda will help you identify small changes to try and support planning for the road ahead. She aims to walk alongside clients while they regain more control over their next steps.

Approaches that shape online support

Amanda draws on attachment-based ideas to notice how early relationships affect current patterns. This helps when relationship dynamics or caregiving strains keep repeating. She also uses client-centred methods, which means sessions are guided by what the person needs and values rather than a fixed plan.

Mindfulness techniques are part of her approach too, and she brings simple breathing and grounding exercises into conversations. These can help reduce anxiety, manage overwhelming feelings and make daily coping easier. The therapist balances these methods with trauma-focused perspectives when past hurts continue to affect day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will talk through what feels most useful and adapt methods as needs change. She treats the choice of method as collaborative, checking in about what helps and what does not.

For practicalities, please confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera depending on their comfort. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor online work to focus on conversations, practical resources and simple exercises to try between sessions.
