About Amanda
Amanda Rowland is an AASW social worker with 28 years of professional experience in Australia. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and eating concerns, and she also helps those facing big life changes and compassion fatigue. Amanda speaks English and draws on long practice to support people who are carrying heavy feelings.
Amanda uses plain conversation and practical steps rather than jargon. She aims to shape sessions around what each person brings and what they need to do day to day. People can expect a focus on what is happening now and small changes that make things easier to manage.
Her background includes long experience across common and complex problems. That includes work with attachment concerns, abandonment, and body image issues. Amanda has also worked with people affected by chronic illness, cancer, caregiver stress and ageing concerns.
She helps people who struggle with eating difficulties, control issues, codependency and avoidant personality patterns. Communication problems, commitment worries and co-morbidity are also within her experience. Amanda pays attention to how life events and relationships shape strong feelings like shame and guilt.
Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals and routine. The practical plan may include talking through patterns, learning new ways to handle stress, and pacing changes so they fit into daily life. To begin, the site booking flow asks a few questions and then schedules a first session.
How evidence-based techniques are used online
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and practical change. One approach helps people spot the patterns that keep stress and anxiety active, then tries small tests of new behaviour to see what helps. Another approach addresses grief and loss by creating space to name what was lost and by building manageable routines that reduce overwhelm.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaboration. Amanda works with each person to pick methods that suit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is reviewed. The aim is to match techniques to what the person can try between sessions and what fits into their daily life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, appointments or care responsibilities. It can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or remove the need to be on camera when that helps someone engage.
