Amanda Kwesiga

Amanda Kwesiga is a qualified counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She is a female therapist of colour based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience.

Amanda works in a relational way and places emphasis on the healing potential of the therapeutic relationship. She aims to create a welcoming, non-judgemental space characterised by warmth and empathy where a client’s voice can be heard.

She hopes to develop an honest and open partnership with clients to work collaboratively towards their personal goals. Whether someone needs to be listened to, is looking to make changes, or wants to explore past experiences, Amanda adapts to a pace that feels right and carries out regular reviews to ensure needs are being met.

Her practice is underpinned by person-centred training, which reflects her belief that each person is the expert on their own life. At the same time she recognises that one approach does not fit everyone and draws on elements from other therapeutic methods when appropriate.

Amanda has experience working with trauma, including supporting victims of domestic abuse, stalking and coercive control. She has also worked with people with various mental health diagnoses, those who have experienced alcohol and drug dependency, clients with work-related concerns and people wishing to explore their faith.

She has a particular interest in disenfranchised grief and supporting people whose losses are often not validated by wider society. Ultimately, Amanda is available to support clients as they take important steps toward change and looks forward to meeting them.
