About Amanda

Amanda Brady works on stress, anxiety, relationships, low self-esteem, depression and related life challenges, using a mix of relational and practical approaches. She is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom.

Amanda sees issues such as ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, addictions and trauma-related problems. She also helps with parenting strains, career difficulties, grief, intimacy and eating or sleeping concerns. Her work includes support for people dealing with domestic violence, separation and family of origin difficulties.

In sessions she uses client-centred listening to help people talk through what matters to them. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns that started in early relationships. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when practical change or coping strategies are needed.

Amanda also integrates psychodynamic thinking to consider how past experiences influence current feelings and behaviour. Trauma-focused approaches guide work where there has been abuse or significant loss. She aims to balance understanding with clear steps people can try between sessions.

Her style is conversational and focused on the issues you bring. She encourages small experiments and clear goals when they suit the person. To begin, she asks people to describe their main concerns and what they hope to get from counselling, so the first session can be used meaningfully.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Amanda uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current patterns, which can help when people struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship problems. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can make sense of their feelings and choose next steps. Cognitive behavioural techniques involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical strategies to change behaviour and mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before to agree a way forward together. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs shift.

The original biography did not specify particular session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or travel, and they can reduce time spent on journeys. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that better suits a person's day.
