Amanda’s ability to hear what people need is awesome, and to find and develop the concept in response to this need is quite exquisite.
Her ability to find the people to come together to deliver projects is equally skilful.
My experience of working with Amanda and bringing opportunities to people through her work is second to none.

Amanda brought heart and humanity and I left with hope

I am extremely grateful for the support and guidance I’ve received from Amanda. She supported me in unpacking long-standing issues which had never been resolved and had been affecting my marriage. She guided me in how to deal with them in a healthier and more constructive way, acknowledging them rather than brushing them under the carpet which is what I tended to do. The process was not always easy, but it was always handled with care, professionalism, and genuine empathy.
At one point, communication between my husband and me had deteriorated to the extent that we were relying on email rather than speaking face to face. Through a calm, compassionate, and highly insightful approach, she helped us both understand what was happening beneath the surface and taught us practical skills to communicate with each other more openly, honestly, and effectively in person.
The positive impact on my marriage has been significant. I feel more self-aware, better equipped to express myself, and far more able to respond rather than react. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for meaningful, transformative therapeutic work.

After just one session with Amanda I felt I have a much better understanding of my daughter’s relationship with food. I thought I just had a fussy eater. In fact Amanda helped me to see that eating was a way that my four and half year old was exerting independence and control. She came up with some practical suggestions which have been effective, and helped me to see the issue from a different perspective.

Amanda Bueno de Mesquita is probably the best Systemic Therapist I have ever had the pleasure to be helped by. I say this because a few years ago I needed help over grief and did see a therapist, but I have to say although helpful took a very long time to get to where I needed to be.
Therapy is never easy, but Amanda has a very thorough ability to get to a situation quickly, respectfully, and with an open mind which does feel as though how ever hard she works you it is done with a huge heart and professionalism that I can’t recommend highly enough.
If you are prepared to listen , hear honesty, trust  and want to get it right for YOU then she absolutely is the one !

I’ve had a variety of different therapists over a 20-year period, Amanda offers a truly unique service - her ability to see straight to the heart of the matter, and offer resolution based support, is exceptional - there is no one else like her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone, you can only gain from her time.

Amanda is an exceptional therapist, as well as a lovely, kind, and compassionate person. I found our sessions incredibly valuable and wished I had started to see her before reaching a point where I felt I needed to. I am extremely grateful to have been recommended to her and so it is my pleasure to recommend her to others.

Amanda gives all of herself during therapy. She listens and hears. She is perceptive, intuitive and is able to provide incisive feedback, which is always thought provoking. It’s traditional therapy with a meaningful twist and many breakthrough moments. She connects with you and helps you connect with yourself.

I met Amanda around 3 years ago; she had great ideas, energy and passion to help change the systems we work in for the better. Amanda is very good at connecting with people and continuing to keep the connection; she makes time for people and cares. With her background, knowledge, desire to effect positive change and ability to connect with people she made a great difference in Westminster acting as the glue to help our transformation work.

To say that Amanda has been a key cog in my Life over the past 14 months would be under-selling the impact that she has had in helping me navigate a turbulent period. She has been tough when it was required and unfailingly compassionate by the same measure. She pulls no punches but our work together has allowed me to chart a course forward whilst growing as a person at the same time

I was reluctant to start therapy, but Amanda made everything feel safe, normal and never overwhelming. It became a comfortable and familiar place to come each week on good and bad days. She uncovered my patterns quickly and supported me through one of the hardest periods of my life and always made time for me. Her kindness and guidance helped me find direction again when I felt completely lost and alone, I always felt like I had someone on my side. I’m so grateful for her and could not recommend her enough

I have had extensive problems dealing with my son's extreme fussiness with eating. It was just that- fussiness, nothing more. Amanda was able to come up with a workable written plan with me to combat this. Whilst I wouldn't say my son is now an adventurous eater , he definitely is eating more of a variety of foods and high quality foods such as fruits and vegetables. Amanda's input was invaluable in this. Her holistic approach involved removing the grandparents from the food equation (they let my son dictate) whilst ensuring full support was given at the nursery he attended. Thank you!

Amanda is a well-rounded therapist. She is not so intellectual that she can't embody the pain of her clients and her candour is so refreshing that clients cannot help but to leave sessions with figuratively speaking 20/20 sight.
Reach-out to Amanda and decide to work with her because your future life deserves it! Thank you, Amanda, for all that you do for individuals like me that want better, seek better and now do better, as a result of having worked with you.
With eternal blessings to a world transformed.

One of the best decisions I have made is having therapy with Amanda. She has helped me change the way in which I think and address my problems, which has helped so much with my anxiety. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Amanda works in a very nuanced, intuitive way. She is passionate and rigorous in her work and this makes me feel – as the client – that I am continually at the forefront of her thoughts and clinical care. Amanda has helped me find a different pattern of listening to myself and others. I have discovered keys and understood patterns of my behavior previously undetected. A new insight into myself has emerged, which is exciting, uplifting. I find that Amanda is equally adept at thinking and operating inside and outside the ‘normal’ therapeutic bounds, and so the work finds its way to us, quite often through unexpected paths or channels. I see and understand myself in a truer and more congruent way. Positive, meaningful changes have occurred for me and I hold a deep trust in her as a clinician and person. I feel fortunate that my path has crossed hers. 

Amanda came to visit our family at home. We were living in a war zone.  She managed to calm all of us and change our family dynamic in one visit.  I think she keeps Fairy Dust in her bag and sprinkles it.

I have seen firsthand the impact of Amandas work supporting teams of community health and wellbeing workers with regular reflective practice in groups, and 1-2-1 support. She holds reflective space with care and clarity, creating an environment where CHWWs felt supported to process the emotional demands of their roles, working with our most vulnerable and often traumatised communities. Amandas practice is both restorative and preventative, helping teams sustain themselves and their work over time. Her ability to balance emotional safety with thoughtful challenge made her contribution invaluable to the health of both teams and the communities they serve. I highly recommend her as a therapist.

I have been under the guidance of my relationship therapist, Amanda de Bueno, for approximately 12 months. During this time, Amanda has consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism and care. She is a great listener, creates a safe and nonjudgmental space, and asks thought-provoking questions that gently encourage insight and growth. Her guidance has been invaluable to me in understanding myself and my relationships more deeply.
I am very grateful for the support Amanda has provided and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking thoughtful, compassionate, and effective therapeutic support

I was recommended to Amanda some time ago . Started off not feeling the whole therapy thing but when I eventually hit rock bottom I knew I was really ready to work with a therapist.
Amanda was there for me 24/7. We unpacked, I cried , we laughed and unpacked some more . I have learnt so much about myself and grown as a person all because of Amanda. I never wanted someone who would agree with me and take my side but someone who would challenge me and be brutally honest when I needed it . Beyond grateful to have met a therapist like her. She really is the best .

Amanda has offered her patience, kindness, support, and knowledgeable expertise in helping our son develop. She has an amazing array of knowledge, looking into each individual child's needs and offering emotional and wellbeing strategies to develop his sense of the world. I would highly recommend her as a therapist to any parent considering therapy for their child, especially those searching for care that offers professionalism as well as innovative, progressive strategies.

I’ve had cause to require Amanda’s unique services a few years back I was having some issues with my son’s behaviour and after a few sessions with Amanda I gained enough insight to turn our relationship around - her ability to see what is really going on for both sides and to offer guidance on how to fix it that is actually achievable is extraordinary.

Amanda has led me on a journey of self-reflection and discovery that has been truly life-changing and made me a better husband, father and executive. Amanda’s ability to explore complex situations and hone in on underlying realities in a professional yet sensitive manner is extraordinary. Amanda is a master of her craft, has had an immeasurable impact on me and I would highly recommend her.

I needed to find another way to deal with the struggle I was having with my 2 year old; she was having tantrums from the moment we were getting ready for nursery, until bedtime. I was at my wits end and decided to see Amanda for some professional advice.
She was able to show me what was happening within just one session, what was happening was actually something I was living in and couldn't ever see by myself. 
Having Amanda's eyes on my family dynamics, allowed me to be able to see the changes that needed to be addressed within two sessions and the tantrums literally have stopped, we now have tears and much more communication, which has had remarkable transformation to our relationship as a mother and daughter. Amanda is extraordinary, she doesn't hold back and really encourages me to have the emotion whilst getting the most out of each session, by moving the emotion forward into language, this creates new pathways for creating action and results. Thank you Amanda

Amanda has the most fantastic intuition when it comes to reading people. My now 3 year old daughter is an outgoing and confident child. To the casual observer she has not a care in the world. Amanda however spotted after very little time that she was actually dealing with feelings of anxiety in certain situations. We discussed this and Amanda was able to help me to tackle the cause of these feelings and put mechanisms in place to try to help both me and my daughter.
