About Amanda Bouvier
Amanda Bouvier (BACP) has been working therapeutically with adults of all ages and teenagers since 2010. Based in the United Kingdom, she offers one-to-one therapy as well as couples and family sessions, supporting people through a wide range of emotional and relational challenges.
Her experience includes working with clients from many walks of life, including people from diverse ethnic backgrounds and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Amanda commonly supports concerns such as anxiety and depression, unresolved childhood experiences, attachment and abandonment difficulties, and strained relationships with parents, caregivers, or other family members. She also works with issues related to abortion, miscarriage, and stillbirth, alongside age-related concerns and transition points that can bring uncertainty, grief, or a shift in identity.
Amanda has supported clients coping with work or study pressure, as well as the emotional impact of being a full-time carer for a loved one. She also has substantial experience working with ASD (autism spectrum disorder) and ADHD. Grief work is another key area of her practice, including bereavement after the death of a loved one and the loss of a cherished animal, which can bring intense and complicated feelings that deserve time, care, and understanding.
She recognizes that reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, and she approaches that first step as an opportunity to begin developing greater self-understanding and clarifying what changes a client wants to make in their life.

Therapeutic Approaches That Fit Online Life
Amanda Bouvier draws on evidence-informed approaches that translate well to online therapy and can be tailored to what a client is facing day to day. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and habits, then practicing practical ways to respond differently. It is often used when anxiety, low mood, stress, or self-criticism are getting in the way of life and relationships.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients build psychological flexibility by making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. This can be especially helpful during grief, major life changes, or when someone feels stuck between wanting relief and wanting to move forward.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships can shape current emotional needs, boundaries, and connection. It can support clients working through strained family dynamics, abandonment concerns, or patterns that show up in intimate relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda works collaboratively, using a client’s goals, preferences, and pace to shape sessions and adjust strategies over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit support around work, study, caring responsibilities, travel, or busy home life, while still staying connected to consistent therapeutic support.
