Amanda Bouvier, BACP

Amanda Bouvier offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She works with adults and teenagers, and helps clients who are navigating parenting challenges, relationship worries, or concerns linked to ADHD and autism spectrum difference. Amanda aims to make the first step easier with a warm, practical approach and clear explanations of what to expect in sessions.

Amanda brings 15 years of experience working in therapeutic settings across the United Kingdom. She uses person-centred listening alongside evidence-informed methods to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different ways of responding. Sessions often involve gentle reflection, practical strategies and checking what works between meetings.

Her experience includes supporting people after bereavement, including the loss of a companion animal, and helping those coping with chronic health issues, caregiving stress or major life transitions. Amanda also works with people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and eating issues, and intimacy-related or communication difficulties.

She records membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Amanda draws on several therapeutic styles such as cognitive behavioural techniques, emotion-focused work and acceptance-based approaches when these suit a person’s goals. She also brings an understanding of neurodiversity and ADHD to sessions.

People who contact Amanda start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the booking process. She welcomes enquiries from across the UK and from international clients who are able to arrange sessions.

How Amanda uses different therapies online

Amanda often draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and change everyday habits that keep problems going. CBT offers practical exercises and short experiments people can try between sessions to test what helps and what does not.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that match personal values. ACT tends to suit people who want to live more in line with what matters to them, even when worries or low mood are present.

Finding the right approach is usually a team effort. Amanda will discuss different methods with clients and help decide which fits their situation, goals and preferences. This collaborative process means plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses so methods match what’s proving useful.

Confirm the current session options before booking to check how Amanda is offering appointments. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when people need them. They also make it possible to work with a registered professional from a different region, including international clients when scheduling works for both sides.
