Amanda Salvara, BACP

Amanda Salvara is a United Kingdom based therapist with five years of clinical experience and holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She specialises in stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, relationship issues, and coping with life changes, combining a practical orientation with attuned clinical care. Her work draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Client-Centered Therapy.

Amanda pays attention to both the patterns that keep difficulties in place and the resources that support recovery and growth. She helps people explore where they are now, where they want to be, and the thoughts, behaviours, and relational dynamics that influence change. Sessions emphasise curiosity, collaboration, and alignment with each person’s values so that practical steps and internal shifts can be integrated over time.

Alongside her core specialisms, Amanda addresses related concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues, body image, communication difficulties, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose and midlife challenges, financial stress, mood disorders, multicultural matters, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and sexual assault and abuse. She provides therapy in English and has experience working with people across the United Kingdom and internationally. Amanda is currently not accepting new clients.
