About Amanda

Amanda Bouvier is a UK-based therapist who has worked with adults and teenagers in therapeutic settings since 2010. She offers one-to-one, couples, and family sessions and brings a calm, empathetic presence to clients navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of life transitions.

Amanda has experience supporting people from diverse ethnic backgrounds and those within the LGBTQ+ community. Her work includes addressing unresolved childhood issues and strained relationships with parents or caregivers, attachment and abandonment concerns, and challenges related to adoption and foster care. She also supports clients through experiences such as abortion, miscarriage, still-birth, age-related changes, work or study pressure, and the demands of full-time caregiving.

She has significant experience working with neurodiverse clients, including those with autism spectrum disorder and ADHD, and she has provided therapeutic support following bereavement of both human and animal loved ones. Amanda recognises that the decision to contact a therapist can feel daunting and treats that first step as the beginning of greater self-understanding and of exploring meaningful change. Amanda is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, and encourages values-based action to build a more meaningful life. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns that developed in early relationships and how they affect current connections; it can be especially helpful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship in which the client’s own strengths and goals guide the work; this approach supports a wide range of issues including low self-esteem, bereavement, and life transitions.

Amanda works collaboratively with clients and with other registered professionals when appropriate to identify which approaches fit best. Finding the right therapeutic style is part of the process - she tailors recommendations to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences and reviews progress together over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and communication styles. This range of options makes it easier for people to access consistent support from a qualified therapist without rearranging major commitments, and helps maintain continuity of care across locations and life changes.
