About Amanda
Amanda Lacey is a counsellor who helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, and build self-esteem and motivation. She supports those facing family problems and separation, and addresses issues such as body image, guilt, and feelings of emptiness. Amanda presents a calm, non-judgemental presence and encourages honest conversation about what matters most to each person.
With three years of professional experience she draws on a blend of practical approaches. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused. Clients can expect conversations that look at current difficulties, unpick unhelpful thinking patterns, and identify small ways to change day-to-day routines.
Amanda uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, which helps people spot and shift thought patterns that fuel anxiety and low mood. She also brings in mindfulness to help with stress and rumination, and narrative ideas to help people make sense of painful events and chart a path forward. Trauma-informed methods may be used when past events affect present wellbeing.
Her way of working is collaborative and paced to suit each person. She helps people clarify goals, try out different strategies, and review what is or is not helping. The focus is on practical steps that fit into everyday life, rather than lengthy theory.
Amanda practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. She is registered as NCPS and has three years' experience in clinical settings. If you are thinking about therapy she can support you to take the next step and explore what would help most.
How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work
Amanda commonly draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness in her sessions. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness teaches simple attention practices that can lower stress and break cycles of rumination.She also uses narrative elements to help people tell a clearer story about their experiences. This can make difficult events feel more manageable and highlight strengths that were overlooked. These approaches are used flexibly depending on the problem presented, such as grief, family strain or work-related stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss your needs and preferences, try techniques together, and adjust the plan as you go. The aim is to find what works for your goals rather than follow a rigid programme.
