Amanda "Mandy" Roberts, NCPS

Amanda "Mandy" Roberts is an accredited therapist with 14 years of clinical experience who holds the NCPS credential, a professional registration for counsellors and psychotherapists. She works in a person-centered way, offering a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore challenges at a pace that feels right for them.

Her practice often begins with attention to the present, helping clients identify what is happening now and develop practical strategies to feel steadier. When appropriate and when a client is ready, Mandy can gently explore deeper patterns and past experiences using psychodynamic ideas, including inner child work, to support healing from longstanding wounds. If remaining in the present feels preferable, she draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness-based strategies to increase clarity and emotional equilibrium.

Mandy adapts her approach to each person, sometimes creating bespoke meditations for use between sessions and prioritising work that helps clients notice and experience the feelings underlying their difficulties. The aim is to build resilience, learn to tolerate discomfort with care, and move toward outcomes that feel less toxic and more empowering.

She holds an empathic, steady presence and encourages clients to take the time they need. The pace, frequency, and length of therapy are guided by the client, and they are free to pause or stop whenever they choose.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Amanda "Mandy" Roberts integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy to meet a wide range of needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathic space in which clients are invited to lead the conversation, helping them explore feelings and values at their own pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, which can support management of anxiety, stress, low mood, sleep difficulties, and relationship challenges.

She also draws on attachment-based principles when deeper relational patterns are relevant, exploring how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses. Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself - Mandy collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit best with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Mandy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity across locations, and use different formats for reflection, skill practice, or immediate support according to what works best for the client.
