About Amanda
Amanda Brady is a therapeutic counsellor who works from a client-centred stance. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Amanda focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression.
She helps people who are coping with relationship strain, parenting challenges and career stress. She also supports concerns such as ADHD, addiction, grief, eating or sleeping difficulties, and trauma or emotional abuse.
Background and approach
Amanda pays attention to how attachment and past relationships shape today's patterns. Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Amanda listens first, then helps clients identify small, useful changes they can try between sessions.
She draws on cognitive behavioural approaches to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns that cause pain. With five years' experience, Amanda offers a steady, thoughtful style that aims to make difficult topics easier to talk about.
She works collaboratively, helping people set goals they feel ready to work towards. This can include coping strategies, clearer communication skills or practical planning for parenting stresses. Amanda works in English and accepts international clients.
Her approach suits people who want a mix of gentle exploration and practical steps to handle everyday pressures and deeper emotional issues.

Therapeutic approaches and online support for parents
Amanda commonly uses attachment-based and client-centred approaches to guide online work. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships influence present patterns and helps people recognise and change repeating dynamics that affect parenting and close relationships. Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience without judgement and using their own strengths to work through difficulties.She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments. Choosing the right approach is a shared process - the therapist will discuss goals, try approaches and adapt methods to match what feels most helpful and realistic for the client.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use non-verbal cues and a fuller conversation, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or hands-free discussions, live chat can be a quicker way to check in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around parenting schedules, work and other commitments.
