About Amanda
Amanda Rowland is an AASW social worker with 28 years of professional experience in Australia. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, eating concerns and major life changes, and she has experience supporting people with compassion fatigue.
Amanda keeps conversations direct and practical. She talks through what is causing strain and looks at manageable steps to reduce day-to-day pressure. With eating concerns and grief she focuses on what is happening now and what small changes could help people cope better.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice across a range of presentations. That experience informs how she notices patterns in thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people break those patterns and test different ways of responding.
Amanda pays attention to relationship and attachment issues when they affect stress, confidence or coping. She also brings experience helping people with chronic illness, cancer, caregiver stress and ageing concerns so physical health and emotional responses are considered together.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Amanda works with each person to set achievable goals and to check progress regularly. People who feel stuck after a relationship, job or health change often contact her to sort out what matters next and plan a step forward.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Amanda works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage overwhelming feelings and find practical next steps. Cognitive approaches help identify and change thinking and behaviour patterns that keep anxiety and stress high. Brief behavioural methods support testing small changes, which can be useful for eating concerns and daily coping.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss the options and select techniques based on a person's specific goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps focus sessions on what matters most right now.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce the time spent travelling to appointments. If you need help matching a format to your routine, the therapist can discuss practical arrangements during the matching and scheduling steps.
