About Amanda
Amanda Brady is a therapeutic counsellor registered in the UK with the BACP and has five years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem and anger. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, ADHD and parenting pressures.
Amanda uses straightforward talking therapy. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what practical steps might help. She listens for patterns from past relationships that affect present reactions. That can show why anger or resentment keeps coming back.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic thinking to look at early relationships and their effect on current feelings. She also uses client-centred methods to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when people want concrete strategies to manage mood, sleep or unhelpful thinking.
Amanda helps people who feel overwhelmed by change, grief or caregiver stress. She offers space to talk through confusion about intimacy, commitment and blended family roles. She also supports those coping with eating or sleeping problems linked to emotional difficulty.
Practical steps often include learning to recognise physical signs of anger, testing out different responses, and practising new ways to communicate. Amanda encourages small, manageable changes rather than sudden overhauls. She asks people what they want from counselling and checks progress regularly.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions, helping people see patterns that feed anger and mistrust. That approach is useful for addressing issues like abandonment, attachment problems and repeated relationship conflict. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities, giving space to talk through feelings and decide what to try next. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for managing anxiety, sleep problems and impulsive reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amanda collaborates with each person to agree what will be tried and checks in about what is helping. She combines talking-based exploration with specific exercises when those feel useful, and adapts the balance as goals evolve.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around work, childcare or travel, and cutting out journey time so people can use shorter breaks for a check-in. If you want to know which session formats are offered, confirm the options before booking since the biography does not list them. Registered or accredited professionals often help clients plan how to make sessions fit day-to-day life, for example by choosing shorter check-ins, scheduling sessions at quieter times, or using camera-off conversation when that suits the person better.
