About Amanda
Amanda Osman is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and ADHD, and also supports people dealing with communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and women's issues.
She approaches therapy from a client-centred perspective, treating each person as the expert on their own life. That means sessions focus on listening to what matters most and reflecting it back so people can see options more clearly. Amanda also uses Internal Family Systems ideas to help people notice the different parts of themselves that hold worry, self-blame or protective behaviour.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Amanda encourages clients to name what feels stuck and to try manageable steps between appointments. She pays attention to patterns that keep someone feeling guilty or ashamed and helps them recognise other perspectives within themselves.
Her background across twelve years includes work with people affected by trauma and ongoing stress. That experience informs how she responds to difficult memories and strong emotions, while keeping the focus on the client’s priorities. The therapist aims to work at a pace the client can manage and to clarify what each session will address.
People interested in starting are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first meeting. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location.
How Amanda uses Client-Centred and Parts-based approaches online
Amanda works with Client-Centred Therapy by listening closely and following the client's lead. That approach focuses on understanding what the client says matters most and reflecting it back so they can notice options and make choices. Internal Family Systems helps people identify different internal parts - for example a part that criticises and a part that protects - and learn how those parts relate to one another.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda plans sessions collaboratively, checking what methods feel helpful and adjusting based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. She aims to balance emotional processing with practical steps clients can try between sessions.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue work after a difficult day or to use video or phone options depending on what the client prefers.
