Amanda Salvara

Amanda Salvara is a counsellor who has spent the last five years working with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. She holds BACP accreditation, and she helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem and major life changes. Her work also covers relationship concerns and related areas such as attachment wounds and feelings of isolation.

Amanda uses a flexible, integrative style that adapts to each person’s needs. She listens with curiosity and empathy, then helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, practical changes. Sessions focus on what is happening now, what the person wants to change, and which skills or perspectives might help move things forward.

Across sessions she may draw on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices. The aim is to combine tools and conversations to build better coping, clearer values and steadier day-to-day functioning.

Amanda also pays attention to issues around shame, guilt, body image, money worries and multicultural concerns. She supports people affected by sexual assault, abandonment, or post-traumatic stress, helping them make sense of their experience and find practical steps toward recovery or stability.

Her work is collaborative: she and the client identify goals together and adjust the plan as needed. If someone wants help balancing career, wellbeing and life purpose, she frames sessions around those real-world pressures and priorities.
