About Amanda
Amanda Burridge is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, sleep problems, parenting strain and anger. Her approach is straightforward and people-focused.
She prefers clear, human conversation rather than technical language. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most and what feels urgent. Amanda uses active listening and practical discussion to help people notice patterns in how they respond to stress and anger. She keeps explanations plain and uses questions to help clients think about small changes they can try.
Amanda draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow the client’s lead and create a collaborative space for talking things through. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and try practical strategies that reduce unhelpful cycles. These approaches are used together depending on the person’s goals.
She has worked with people facing bereavement and with those coping with serious illness, and she brings that experience into other concerns such as career stress or midlife shifts. Amanda aims to be steady and direct while keeping the tone humane and occasionally light when appropriate.
Sessions are conversational and focused on small, doable steps. To begin a first appointment people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session through the service button.
How Amanda uses approaches online
Amanda uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow the client’s concerns and prioritise what matters most to them. This approach is about listening closely and shaping sessions around the person’s immediate needs, which can help when anger or grief feels overwhelming.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going. CBT work tends to focus on practical strategies such as testing unhelpful thoughts, breathing and grounding practices, and short behavioural experiments that can reduce tension and reactive anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss options with each person and agree what to try first based on goals and preferences. The plan can change as people notice what helps and what does not, so the approach is decided together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions let them fit therapy into work breaks, avoid travel time and use shorter check-ins when needed. Others prefer longer conversations to unpack complex feelings. Amanda aims to match the practical format to everyday life and the client’s goals.
