About Amanda

Amanda Durrell works with people on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes using a client-centred way of working. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience in professional practice.

Amanda helps people talk through relationship difficulties and intimacy-related issues. She supports those dealing with loss, anger or low mood. She also works with sleep problems and with people facing major life transitions such as separation or caregiving responsibilities.

Her method is based on Client-Centred Therapy, which places the person at the core of sessions. Conversations focus on what the person brings, their strengths and what matters to them. The pace is set by the client and sessions are practical and conversational rather than directive.

She has additional experience with attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, infertility and the effects of domestic violence. Amanda also addresses issues of guilt, shame, isolation and questions about life purpose. This range means she often supports people whose concerns overlap several areas.

Sessions aim to help people find clearer ways to manage stress, improve relationships and rebuild confidence. Amanda encourages practical steps alongside reflective discussion, helping people try things between sessions and review what works. If you wish to proceed, confirm current session formats before booking so you know how she conducts meetings.

How Amanda uses client-centred work in online sessions

Amanda's main approach is Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on the person's own choices and strengths. Sessions are conversational and depend on what the person brings; this approach can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship strains and grief.

The therapist works collaboratively to find the best fit. Early meetings look at the issues, the client's goals and how they prefer to work, so approach and pace can be adjusted together as therapy proceeds.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and saving travel time. Online work can also make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to attend when finding a quiet, uninterrupted period of time is important. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so clients should confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often use online meetings to help people keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
