Amanda Kwesiga , BACP

Amanda Kwesiga is a qualified counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) who works in a warm, relational manner that centres the client. She creates a welcoming space shaped by empathy and without judgement so that clients feel heard and respected as they explore their concerns and goals.

Amanda’s person-centred training underpins her practice, reflecting a belief that each person is the expert on their own life. She supports clients to make sense of experiences at a pace that feels right, offering regular reviews to ensure therapy remains responsive to changing needs. While person-centred work is central, she also draws on elements from other approaches to tailor care where appropriate.

Her experience includes supporting people affected by trauma, including victims of domestic abuse, stalking, and coercive control, and working with individuals who have faced alcohol or drug dependency, workplace difficulties, or questions of faith. Amanda also has a particular interest in disenfranchised grief - losses that are often unacknowledged by wider society - and in helping people rebuild self-understanding and life direction following painful events.

Amanda is based in the United Kingdom and offers a steady, collaborative presence to walk alongside clients as they take steps toward meaningful change.

Client-Centered and Relational Care Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive environment in which the client’s own perspectives guide the work. The therapist offers empathy, acceptance, and reflective listening to help individuals explore feelings, build self-understanding, and clarify personal goals - helpful for stress, low self-esteem, life changes, and grief.

A relational approach emphasizes the therapeutic relationship itself as a source of healing. Through a collaborative and respectful connection, the therapist and client can examine patterns in relationships, attachment concerns, and experiences of abandonment or isolation, and experiment with different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Amanda will work together with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration means the work can adapt over time as priorities shift.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow therapy to fit around work, family, and daily life. These options make accessing consistent support easier and enable ongoing contact with licensed professionals and therapists from wherever the client is based within the United Kingdom.
