Amanda Salvara , BACP

Amanda Salvara is a counsellor and coach based in the United Kingdom who holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. With five years of experience supporting clients in the UK and internationally, she works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.

Amanda uses an integrative approach that blends evidence-based techniques with empathic listening and curiosity. She pays attention to thought and behavior patterns that may be limiting progress, explores the causes and consequences of recurring difficulties, and assesses what is already working well. Her practice also addresses issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image and self-love, communication struggles, guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress, and challenges around life purpose and financial stress.

The therapeutic work is collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs, focusing on practical resources and gradual change. Amanda supports clients pursuing recovery, personal growth, or the maintenance of balance, helping them align daily choices with their values and long-term goals.

Integrative Approaches for Online Support

Amanda frequently draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and develop psychological flexibility, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete strategies to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mood difficulties.

Licensed professionals and therapists often combine these methods with a client-centered stance, which emphasizes empathy and respect for each person's unique experience. Amanda will collaborate with clients to determine which approaches best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility for people juggling work, family, or geographic distance. These options make it easier to attend consistently, access therapy from different locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful change.
