Amanda Osman , BACP

Amanda Osman is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience supporting adults through periods of stress, anxiety, depression and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. Her training with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) means she practices in line with recognised UK counselling standards and ethics. Amanda works in English and draws on evidence-informed approaches to help clients build resilience and clearer self-understanding.

Amanda focuses on areas including self-esteem and confidence, ADHD, communication difficulties, feelings of isolation or loneliness, and issues that often affect women. She approaches each person as the expert of their own story and seeks to identify personal strengths that can be used to meet and overcome current challenges. In sessions she creates a calm, respectful space to explore emotions, patterns of thought and behaviour, and to develop practical ways to manage difficult moments.

Taking the first step toward greater wellbeing can feel daunting, and Amanda offers steady, nonjudgmental support for people ready to begin that journey. She is currently accepting clients in the United Kingdom and offers a range of ways to connect to suit different needs and lifestyles.

How Amanda's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Amanda uses client-centered therapy to place the client's perspective and goals at the heart of the work. This approach involves active listening, empathy and collaboration so that clients can explore their feelings and values at their own pace; it is especially helpful for building self-esteem, addressing depression and improving communication skills.

She also draws on Internal Family Systems, which helps people understand and relate to different parts of themselves - for example protective, anxious or vulnerable parts - and to cultivate more compassionate internal relationships. This work can support recovery from trauma, reduce shame and clarify how internal dynamics influence behaviour.

Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process. Amanda works collaboratively with each person to identify which approach or combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as work progresses.

Online therapy with Amanda is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from home. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and allow clients to continue work consistently even when routines change.
