Amanda Romano Gutierres is a UK-credentialed therapist with 15 years of professional experience supporting adults through periods of stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She has worked extensively with people affected by trauma and abuse and addresses issues related to motivation, self esteem, and confidence.

Amanda works from a foundation of respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to meet each client’s particular needs. As a BACP-registered professional - BACP being the UK professional body for counselling and psychotherapy - she brings established standards and training to her clinical work. Her approach emphasizes practical support and emotional understanding so clients can develop coping strategies and clearer perspectives.

Taking the first step toward therapy can require courage, and Amanda recognizes that decision. She aims to create a supportive, collaborative environment where clients can explore challenges, set goals, and move toward greater wellbeing at a pace that feels right for them.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Therapy Options

Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people understand and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaving. These approaches often involve exploring how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression.

She also employs trauma-informed methods that focus on validating experiences, building safety, and gradually processing the effects of past harm. In addition, Amanda works with skills-based coping strategies that strengthen resilience and improve day-to-day functioning, including self-esteem and emotional regulation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Amanda takes a collaborative stance. She will work with clients to identify which techniques best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for scheduling and accessibility when in-person work is not possible. Registered professionals and therapists can use these formats to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and provide consistent support across different settings.
