Amanda Le Tissier , NCPS

Amanda Le Tissier is a UK-licensed therapist with 25 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, loss and grief, addictions, anger, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and confidence, and motivation challenges. She practices as an integrated therapist, drawing on interventions from multiple schools of therapy while placing particular emphasis on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - a practical approach that examines links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours - and Cognitive Analytical Therapy, which explores patterns formed across relationships and life stages.

As an Inner Child practitioner, Amanda incorporates work that attends to earlier experiences and unmet emotional needs as part of a broader therapeutic plan. She describes her role as collaborative, believing that each person is the expert of their own story and already holds strengths that can be developed to meet life’s challenges. Amanda’s own journey through trauma and loss informs her compassionate stance and motivates her commitment to walking alongside clients through change.

Clients may work with Amanda via video calls, telephone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging, and she aims to help people identify and build the changes they want in a steady, supportive way. Amanda also holds the NCPS credential, a professional qualification indicating training in counselling and psychotherapy.

Evidence-informed approaches for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and develop actions that align with their values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviours and emotional responses, often helping with anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist provides empathy and support to help clients explore their feelings and find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, preferences and goals, and may draw on one or more methods to create a tailored plan that feels like a good fit.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family or mobility needs. These options make it easier to access regular appointments, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward emotional and practical goals.
