Amanda Bouvier, BACP

Amanda Bouvier greets visitors with a calm, practical approach. She is a counsellor with 15 years' experience who supports adults and teenagers. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at helping people feel understood and make manageable changes.

Amanda listens to the personal story behind each problem and focuses on what matters most to the client. She offers one-to-one sessions as well as couples and family work, and has worked with people from diverse ethnic backgrounds and the LGBTQ+ community. Her practice pays attention to everyday struggles like sleep, appetite, low mood and work pressure.

Her background includes supporting people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, grief and relationship difficulties. She has also helped people with ADHD and autism spectrum difficulties, and those coping with abandonment, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care matters. She has particular experience with the loss of a pet and other kinds of bereavement that are often overlooked.

Amanda uses approaches that help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. She draws on practical cognitive strategies as well as work that pays attention to feelings and relationships. Sessions are usually conversational and aim to leave people with clear steps they can try between meetings.

Based in the United Kingdom, Amanda is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She welcomes international clients and speaks English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to schedule.

How Amanda's approaches work in online therapy

Amanda uses a blend of methods that focus on thoughts, feelings and relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try different responses to reduce distress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to strengthen ways of connecting with others. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on recognising and naming feelings in important relationships and finding new ways to respond that increase connection.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try first. This collaborative process lets the plan change as needs become clearer.

If you are considering online therapy, check the listed session options before booking to confirm what formats are currently offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue with therapy across different locations, while the therapist and client focus on goals, coping skills and relationship patterns rather than logistics.
