About Amanda

Amanda Durrell is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people navigate difficult feelings. She works with adults on anxiety, stress, relationship strain and grief. Amanda aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone who is unsure about therapy.

She has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. Amanda believes people know their own story best and that therapy is a space to bring that knowledge into clearer view.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on listening, understanding and building on existing strengths. In practical terms she helps people with low mood, sleep problems, anger and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Amanda also supports those facing major life changes, family concerns, fertility and caregiver stress.

Trauma and past abuse are included among the topics she addresses when they arise. Her way of working is warm and non-directive. She follows the client’s lead while gently reflecting thoughts and feelings back.

This helps people notice patterns, try different choices and grow confidence at their own pace. Sessions can include talking through recent events, naming difficult emotions and practising ways to cope between meetings. Amanda encourages small, realistic steps and checks in about what is helpful as things change.

People interested in starting are guided through a simple sign-up and matching process. Amanda offers remote sessions so people can choose the format that fits their life.

Client-centred care delivered online

Amanda works from a Client-Centred Therapy perspective, which means she listens closely and follows the person’s lead. This approach helps people feel understood and supports them to identify their own solutions for issues like anxiety, grief or relationship strain.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on acceptance and empathy rather than giving direct instructions. It suits people who want a collaborative space to talk through emotions and make sense of difficult events. For concerns linked to trauma or abuse the approach creates a steady, person-led way to explore what feels manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will shape sessions together with them. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on listening and reflection or to try practical coping steps between meetings.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people see facial expressions and tone, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low, live chat offers a short check-in option and messaging suits those who prefer written reflection. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life.
