About Amanda

Amanda Cooper is a counsellor with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety, stress and related concerns such as depression, sleeping problems and addictive behaviours. She aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them and begin to feel more in control.

Amanda works in a straightforward, problem-solving way. She looks beyond surface behaviours - for example drug or alcohol use, or repeated relationship conflict - to find underlying causes.

Background and approach

That often involves gentle exploration of past events and current environmental pressures that keep problems repeating. Her background includes leading short-term residential wellbeing services in Warwickshire for around a decade. In that role she provided therapy, supervised other therapists and helped design psychological programmes.

That experience has shaped a practical style suited to complex situations and fluctuating needs. Amanda’s academic record includes an MSc in Organisational Psychology from Birkbeck, University of London and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from Arden University. She also holds a Diploma in Psychotherapy from the Human Givens Institute and the NCPS credential.

She uses narrative and memory-based techniques alongside trauma recovery processes to address phobias, panic and stuck patterns. Sessions can be by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, and she often exchanges messages before the first appointment to make the initial session focused and efficient.

How Amanda’s approaches work online

Amanda uses narrative techniques that help people reframe difficult memories and the stories they tell themselves. This can reduce the power of intrusive thoughts and unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, low self‑esteem and relationship issues.

She also applies trauma recovery processes that focus on gradual, paced work to address panic, phobias and the impact of past harm. These methods aim to make distressing memories less overwhelming and to restore a sense of control.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will try approaches that suit you best. She adapts methods as you progress and checks in regularly to ensure sessions remain helpful.

Online sessions can be flexible to fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break. Live chat or text messaging can work well for shorter check-ins, for people who prefer not to use voice or video, or for ongoing support between sessions.
