About Amanda
Amanda Kwesiga offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or parenting challenges. She introduces herself simply and directly so people know what to expect. Amanda is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings three years of practice to her work.
She works in a relational, person-centred way and believes the relationship between counsellor and client is central.
Background and approach
That means she listens closely, reflects back what she hears, and helps people find their own answers. Sessions are paced to the individual and reviewed regularly so the work stays relevant. Amanda has experience supporting people affected by trauma, including domestic abuse, stalking and coercive control.
She has also worked with people facing addiction, workplace stress, and complex grief where losses may feel overlooked by others. These experiences inform how she listens and responds in sessions. Her approach assumes people are experts in their own lives.
Amanda draws on her person-centred training and will also bring in elements from other approaches when helpful. The aim is to support clearer understanding and practical steps forward, not to push a single method. People can expect warmth, empathy and straightforward conversation.
Amanda encourages honesty about goals and works collaboratively to adjust pace and focus. She welcomes enquiries from those in the United Kingdom who prefer to work in English.

Approaches Amanda lists

How person-centred work translates to online therapy
Amanda works from a person-centred perspective which prioritises listening and empathic reflection. This approach helps people clarify their own feelings and decisions, and is useful for stress, life changes and parenting worries.She also draws on relational elements that focus on the quality of the therapeutic connection. Building trust and practising honest conversations online can help people tackle past trauma, grief or addictive behaviours by creating steady, regular contact over time.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust her way of working as those needs become clearer. She encourages regular reviews so the approach stays relevant to progress and life changes.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues; phone sessions can be quicker to arrange and need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective writing or when someone prefers not to use audio. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and busy days while keeping consistent contact with a registered professional.
