About Amanda
Amanda Durrell is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship problems, grief and loss, and anger. She encourages clients to recognise their own strengths and to bring their experiences into sessions as the starting point for change.
Amanda uses a client-centred way of working. That means sessions focus on the person’s experience and decisions rather than on labels. Conversations are practical and aim to make day-to-day life feel more manageable. She listens for what matters most to each person and follows their lead in setting goals.
In practice she helps people talk through relationship difficulties, feelings of shame or guilt, and the strain of life changes such as separation or caring responsibilities. She also supports those dealing with trauma, intimacy-related concerns, and sleep disruption that is linked to stress or mood. Amanda can discuss issues around ageing, fertility, and isolation when these come up in therapy.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She helps clients notice what already works in their lives and build on small changes. Sessions are aimed at clearer thinking, better emotional regulation, and practical coping skills that can be used between meetings.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The process is simple and designed to get to the main concerns quickly.
How Amanda uses client-centred work online
Amanda works from a client-centred perspective. This approach focuses on listening to the person’s story, reflecting what they say, and helping them decide what matters next. It suits people who want to make sense of emotions such as anger, grief or anxiety and to set their own goals for change.The client-centred method supports practical change by highlighting strengths and choices. In sessions the therapist follows the client’s lead, offers feedback, and helps identify small steps that can reduce tension or improve relationships. This approach can be useful for coping with life changes, communication problems, and difficulties with self-esteem.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Amanda will discuss what feels most helpful and will work with the client to decide the best approach based on needs, goals and preferences. The client’s view guides which techniques and topics are prioritised in sessions.
