About Amanda
Amanda Rowland is an experienced counsellor with 28 years working in Australia. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and challenges around eating and life changes. Amanda works with those feeling worn down by compassion fatigue and helps them find practical ways to manage day-to-day strain.
Amanda treats each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She shapes conversations to the person in front of her and builds a plan that fits their needs. Sessions focus on clear, achievable steps rather than jargon-heavy theory.
Her practice includes helping people cope with transitions such as ageing concerns, cancer, chronic illness, or shifts in family arrangements. She also addresses attachment and abandonment worries, communication struggles, body image, codependency and commitment questions. Amanda draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work.
People meeting her can expect a collaborative approach where goals are set together. She explains options, checks in on progress and adjusts support as life changes. The emphasis is on manageable strategies that can be used between sessions.
Amanda works in English and uses her long experience to adapt to different situations. She encourages anyone feeling overwhelmed to take the next step and explore what support might look like for them. The first step is a short intake and a plan tailored to individual circumstances.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. One common approach focuses on coping skills and problem-solving to reduce daily stress and manage anxiety symptoms; it teaches practical steps you can use between sessions. Another approach addresses grief and loss by supporting people to process emotions, remember what matters and build routines that help during bereavement.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Amanda collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences, then tries methods that fit those aims. She checks progress and adjusts the plan so the work stays relevant and practical.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, making shorter check-ins easier, and allowing people to meet from a familiar location. Talk with Amanda during the matching step about the best way to structure sessions so they work for your routine and needs.
