Amanda Lacey

Amanda Lacey is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, family problems, grief and low self-esteem. She works with people who are trying to rebuild confidence, find motivation or navigate separation and divorce. Amanda presents a calm, non-judgemental presence to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings.

She has three years of professional experience and holds NCPS as a listed credential. In sessions she focuses on clear, practical conversations rather than jargon. Clients can expect to talk through what matters to them and agree simple steps to try between meetings.

Amanda draws on a mix of established approaches including cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and narrative work. That means she might help a person notice and test unhelpful thinking patterns, practise grounding or breathing techniques, or reframe personal stories to make space for change.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She aims to build trust quickly and to prioritise what a person wants to achieve from therapy. Progress is often about small shifts that feel manageable in everyday life.

If someone wants to begin, they can use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to therapist availability. Amanda does not currently take clients outside the United Kingdom and sessions are offered in English.

How Amanda uses therapy approaches online

Amanda commonly draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness in her work. Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify and test unhelpful thoughts and develop small behavioural experiments to see what changes. Mindfulness practices focus on simple grounding and breathing exercises that reduce overwhelm and improve moment-to-moment awareness.

She also uses narrative ideas to help people reframe personal stories that keep them stuck. Narrative work involves looking at the different parts of a person’s story and noticing other possible meanings or strengths that have been overlooked. Together with the client, she will decide which approaches to try and adjust them as work progresses so therapy fits personal goals.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Please confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as these are not listed in the original biography. Clients often find that remote meetings save travel time, allow quicker check-ins during a busy week, and make it simpler to maintain continuity when life gets disrupted. Amanda will work with each person to shape sessions so they match practical needs and therapeutic aims.
