About Amanda
Amanda Lacey, NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom, has three years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through family conflicts, and cope with grief and loss. She also supports people who want to build motivation, self-esteem and confidence.
Amanda uses clear conversation to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and works with people to test alternative ways of thinking and acting.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside existential and mindfulness ideas. That means she pays attention to what people do day to day, how they make sense of their situation, and simple practices to reduce tension in the moment. Narrative and trauma-focused perspectives inform how she looks at past events and their ongoing effects.
In sessions she encourages short experiments and straightforward techniques. Clients leave with small tasks to try and then review at the next meeting. This keeps progress concrete and measurable rather than vague or theoretical.
Amanda offers sessions in English in the UK. Before booking, people are asked to confirm the current session options and scheduling details through the service's booking flow.
How Amanda uses practical approaches online
Amanda draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and routines and then test small changes. CBT work online typically involves talking through recent situations, selecting simple actions to try, and reviewing results in the next meeting.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach short grounding practices that reduce immediate stress. These are brief exercises people can practise between sessions to notice bodily tension and calm reactivity. Existential Therapy helps when people face hard questions about meaning or life direction; sessions look at current choices and values rather than offering quick fixes.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different methods and agree on practical steps based on a person's goals and preferences. Plans may change as work progresses and new information emerges.
The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a working day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Ask about current scheduling and format details when you arrange the first appointment.
