Amanda Le Tissier, NCPS

Amanda Le Tissier is a therapist with 25 years of experience. She draws on a blend of approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction and relationship concerns. Amanda speaks English and practises in the United Kingdom, and she encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready.

Amanda works in an integrated way and often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) alongside other methods. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused ideas when they suit a person's goals. Sessions focus on practical steps, noticing patterns, and building skills that help with everyday challenges.

Clients commonly come for help with sleep problems, low self-esteem, anger and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, bereavement, and addictive behaviours. Additional areas addressed include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, and communication or control issues.

Amanda believes people are the experts in their own stories and that they already carry resources to support change. In sessions she aims to listen carefully, offer straightforward techniques, and work alongside each person as they try new ways of coping. She says small steps often lead to meaningful change over time.

She offers video, telephone and live chat or messaging options. Before booking, clients should confirm the exact session formats available at the time of scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Amanda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports action based on personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and problems with motivation.

CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying practical experiments to change mood and behaviour. It is often used for depression, sleep problems, low self-esteem and anxiety. Amanda also brings client-centred ideas into sessions, which means the conversation stays focused on each person's experience and choices.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Amanda will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. She aims to explain options clearly and to adjust techniques as progress unfolds.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and using shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find telephone or messaging easier when they do not want to be on camera, while video can help keep a face-to-face feel. Clients should confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking so arrangements suit their daily life.
