About Amanda Bouvier
Amanda Bouvier is a UK-based therapist who has worked with adults and teenagers in therapeutic settings since 2010, bringing 15 years of experience to one-to-one, couples, and family work. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of life transitions, including career and parenting challenges. Amanda also works with clients dealing with ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping issues, and compassion fatigue, and she has developed particular expertise supporting blended families, adoption and foster care matters, attachment and abandonment issues, and caregiver stress.
Her practice includes helping people process bereavement after the loss of a human or an animal companion, recognizing that pet loss can trigger profound and complicated emotions that deserve sensitive therapeutic attention. Amanda welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds, including those within the LGBT community, and she aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where personal history and current difficulties can be explored. She uses a range of clinical approaches and adapts them to each person - working collaboratively to understand what changes a client wants to make and how best to achieve them.
Amanda holds the BACP credential, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She encourages anyone who is considering therapy to take that first step when they are ready and looks forward to supporting clients as they work toward greater understanding and wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Amanda draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to support clients in an online setting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on values-guided actions - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where avoidance has become limiting. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how these affect current connections and emotional responses - it is helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and family-related issues.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Amanda works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life, or mobility needs, and enable continuity of care for local and international clients seeking consistent therapeutic help.
