About Amanda
Amanda Salvara is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has five years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, life changes and relationship concerns. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Amanda uses a blend of practical approaches to help people manage symptoms and make clearer choices. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to look at values and action, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness methods to build present-moment awareness. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills and client-centred techniques appear when pacing and support benefit the process.
Her way of working aims to identify patterns that keep problems active. She helps people notice behaviours and thinking that cause distress, and then tries small, realistic adjustments. Sessions commonly cover what is working now, what could be changed, and how to put simple steps into everyday life.
Amanda pays attention to the effects of past harm, including sexual assault and post-traumatic stress, and she supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues. She also addresses practical life pressures such as money worries, midlife transitions and isolation.
The first meetings are practical and collaborative. Clients outline where they are and what they want to try. From there Amanda and the client agree on short-term aims and the methods to try next.

How Amanda uses ACT, CBT and mindfulness online
Amanda often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and turn them into small actions. ACT can help when someone wants to live more in line with what matters despite difficult thoughts or feelings.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try alternative responses. CBT is useful for reducing worry, low mood and repetitive negative thoughts by practising different behaviours and perspectives.
Mindfulness methods are used to improve present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. These practices support stress management and can be combined with other tools during sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. Amanda treats this as a collaborative choice based on a person's goals, preferences and what feels most useful in practice. She reviews what helps and adjusts the plan as work progresses.
Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, commonly use a range of methods to make sessions practical and applicable to everyday life.
