About Amanda
Amanda Burridge is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and grief. She also supports those coping with depression, low self-esteem and life changes. Amanda presents a calm, approachable manner and listens without judgement.
She uses a gentle, curious style in sessions and sometimes brings lightness where it helps. Amanda aims to create a respectful therapeutic relationship so people can explore what matters to them. Her approach is human and down-to-earth rather than clinical or formal.
Background and approach
Amanda has four years of professional experience and is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That background informs how she works with issues such as parenting strain, relationship difficulties, sleeping problems and anger. She also offers support around more specific concerns like caring for older relatives, coping with cancer, bereavement, postpartum depression and end-of-life matters.
Amanda draws on practical conversations to help people find new ways of coping and small steps forward. Sessions can focus on thinking patterns, everyday choices and building self-compassion. Amanda often uses simple tools from her training to help people test different ways of handling worry and stress.
The aim is clearer thinking, steadier moods and more manageable day-to-day routines.
How Amanda blends talking therapies with online sessions
Amanda draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to guide online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, respect and helping people find their own solutions; it suits those who need space to talk and be heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - CBT looks at thought patterns and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce worry and improve sleep or mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working that match what they want to change. Together they review what helps and adapt the plan as things progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can provide shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options give flexibility so therapy can continue even when schedules are busy.
