About Amanda

Amanda Lacey offers support for stress, anxiety, family strain, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She aims to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed to take small steps towards feeling steadier and more able to cope. Amanda presents herself as a calm, encouraging presence in sessions and invites straightforward conversation about what is proving hard right now.

Amanda has three years of professional experience and holds NCPS. She focuses on creating an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. Sessions are practical and conversational, with room to reflect and plan next steps.

Her work often looks at patterns that keep problems going. She uses tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Narrative and existential ideas can help when someone wants to make sense of loss, identity or meaning.

Mindfulness-based techniques are offered to help with stress, grounding and managing intense feelings. Trauma-focused approaches may be used where past events continue to affect day-to-day life. Amanda tailors these methods to each person’s situation rather than using a fixed formula.

People who come to Amanda typically want clear, practical ways to feel better and more in control. She encourages collaboration on goals and works at a pace that feels manageable. If you are supporting someone else and need help with caregiver stress or family difficulties, Amanda includes those concerns in her work and can discuss ways to cope and set boundaries.

How Amanda uses therapy approaches online

Amanda draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. CBT offers concrete steps such as testing assumptions and building small habits to reduce anxiety and low mood. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with stress and overwhelming emotions, teaching simple attention and breathing practices that can be used between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. She views this as a collaborative process and adjusts the plan based on what feels helpful for you over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use mindfulness exercises and homework tasks in their usual environment, which can help bridge therapy and everyday life.
