About Amanda
Amanda Turner is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years’ experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, anger and related life difficulties. Her approach is person-centred and puts the client’s priorities first.
She invites clients to lead sessions so they can talk about what matters most. She listens without judging and helps people to name feelings and sort through confusing thoughts. This practical focus aims to clarify what a client thinks and how they feel.
Amanda often sees people dealing with loss in many forms. That can include low mood, grief, relationship strain, transitions, addictions and issues linked to sexuality and identity. She also supports people facing work pressure, parenting stresses and problems with sleep or eating.
Her work draws on client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. She uses these approaches to help people notice patterns, test new ways of acting, and find calmer ways to respond to anger or tension. Sessions are conversational and grounded in the client’s real life.
Amanda says she has lived through some traumatic experiences herself and understands the need to be heard. She encourages people to talk about feelings they’ve kept inside so they can begin to make sense of them. Her aim is to help clients find clearer ways to cope and move forward.
People who choose her can expect straightforward, respectful conversations about what is causing distress and what might help next. The decision about focus and pace is always made with the client.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Amanda draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness in her practice. Client-centred work means the client’s concerns set the agenda and the counsellor follows their lead to help them speak frankly about feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours to identify unhelpful patterns and test small changes that can reduce anger and anxiety. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help people notice feelings before they escalate.Deciding which mix of approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their aims and preferences and together they will try methods that feel practical and relevant. It is common to blend listening, behavioural experiments and brief mindfulness exercises across sessions until a good fit emerges.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around day-to-day life, for example by saving commuting time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy week, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that feels difficult. Many people find they can practise CBT tasks and mindfulness exercises between sessions, which helps apply what they discuss to real situations.
