Amanda Osman

Amanda Osman works from a person-centred approach that puts each person’s experience first. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and draws on twelve years of professional experience. Amanda aims to help people who are feeling stressed, anxious or low, and those dealing with the effects of trauma or difficulties with attention and focus.

Amanda believes people know their own story and brings a steady, respectful presence to sessions. She provides space to talk through troubling feelings and to notice strengths that often get overlooked. That practical focus can help when worries, guilt or shame make everyday life harder.

Her background includes long-term practice supporting people with self-esteem and confidence concerns. She also works with people experiencing communication problems and women facing life transitions or role strain. Isolation and loneliness are named areas of focus, and Amanda offers a calm, listening way to think about what might ease those feelings.

The internal family systems approach features in her work alongside client-centred listening. That combination helps people notice different parts of themselves and build kinder internal conversations. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Taking the first step can feel daunting. Amanda aims to make the process straightforward and respectful, guiding people through practical steps and small changes rather than rushing to solutions.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online therapy

Amanda blends client-centred listening with Internal Family Systems work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening, reflecting what matters to the person and helping them uncover their own answers. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck.

Internal Family Systems helps people notice different parts of themselves - for example an anxious part or a critical part - and to develop kinder internal relationships. This can help with trauma responses, guilt, shame and problems with self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. Amanda will help the client and counsellor choose techniques that match goals, needs and what feels comfortable. The process is collaborative and paced to each person.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm options before booking. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit around daily life, reduce travel and allow meetings from a familiar setting. They can also offer flexibility for shorter check-ins or meetings that do not require video, depending on the agreed format.
