About Amanda
Amanda Turner is a counsellor with seven years' experience who works from a client-led, person-centred stance. She aims to create a straightforward and friendly space where people can talk about what matters to them. Amanda uses simple, clear language and encourages clients to guide the conversation so sessions follow the client's priorities.
Amanda helps people explore loss, low mood and anxiety. She also supports those facing relationship strain, changes in life, grief and issues linked to addiction or sexuality.
Background and approach
Many clients come with concerns about parenting, self-esteem, sleeping or eating problems and she treats each topic as part of a person's wider life story. Her approach is open minded and non-judgemental. Amanda listens, reflects what she hears and helps clients sort through thoughts and feelings.
She aims to make emotional release and understanding more possible by offering steady, practical support rather than quick fixes. Amanda draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness alongside client-centred work to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Sessions may include looking at thoughts, testing small changes and practising present-moment awareness to reduce stress and reactivity.
People who come to Amanda often want a calm, down-to-earth counsellor who will follow their lead. She focuses on making sense of difficult feelings and finding manageable steps forward, tailored to each person's situation.

How Amanda's approaches work online
Amanda uses client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness in her online practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the client wants to talk about, helping people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour to identify small changes that can reduce distress and improve coping. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce rumination and manage stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda works collaboratively to choose what feels most useful for each person based on their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adapts methods over time so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit a short check-in and messaging gives flexibility across the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and caring commitments while still getting regular support from a registered professional.
