When your child or teen is struggling, it can affect the whole family. Worries, school stress, friendship struggles, or emotional ups and downs can leave everyone feeling unsettled. Adults, too, carry the weight of grief, transitions, or simply the sense of being stuck.

You don’t have to go through it alone. I’m Amanda Gordon, and I help children, adolescents, and adults find their voice, understand their challenges, and discover practical ways to move forward. My approach is warm, honest, and down-to-earth — no jargon, just real support that fits everyday life.

Who I Support

• Children (6–12 years): managing school stress, friendships, emotional ups and downs

• Adolescents (13–18 years): navigating identity, peer challenges, exam pressure, low self-esteem

• Adults: facing grief, relationship issues, work stress, life transitions, or feeling stuck

What I Offer

With 15 years’ experience across education, welfare, and counselling, I understand the challenges people face and offer support that’s both compassionate and practical.

I use a blend of approaches — including CBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, mindfulness, and creative methods — always tailored to the individual. Whether it’s a child, teenager, or adult, sessions focus on what works and what feels useful right now.

My Style

• Honest and warm: no jargon, just real conversations

• Solution-focused: practical strategies you can use straight away

• Safe & supportive: a space where you (or your child) feel heard and understood

• Collaborative: I work with parents, schools, and other supports where helpful to make change sustainable
