Amanda Le Tissier, NCPS

Amanda Le Tissier is a UK-licensed therapist with 25 years of professional experience, supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She works with stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, loss and grief including pet bereavement, addiction, anger, relationship difficulties, low motivation, low self-esteem, and confidence issues. Amanda practises as an integrative therapist, drawing primarily on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Cognitive Analytical Therapy while also offering work as an Inner Child practitioner.

Amanda believes that each person is the expert in their own story and that many of the strengths needed for change are already present. She frames therapy as a collaborative journey - helping clients identify practical steps toward the change they want and offering steady support through the process. Her own experiences of overcoming trauma and loss inform a compassionate, understanding approach to care.

Amanda holds NCPS, a professional credential for counsellors and psychotherapists, and is available to work with clients by video, telephone, live chat, or messaging. She acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to make the first steps welcoming and manageable for those seeking support.

Approaches that guide online therapy and practical support

Amanda integrates evidence-based methods into online work to meet practical needs and emotional goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaching skills to gradually shift those patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and acceptance to help people explore their feelings and build self-understanding; it can be especially helpful for issues around self-esteem, relationships, and life transitions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and emotions without getting entangled in them while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life; it supports coping with stress, loss, and persistent difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work. Amanda and each client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adapting methods over time so therapy fits the person and the problem. Registered professionals tailor strategies rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit appointments into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from home or on the go. This flexibility supports consistent progress while accommodating practical needs.
