About Amanda

Amanda Parry works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and a wide range of life changes. She uses talking, imagery and work with dreams to help people examine their experience and consider different points of view. Amanda is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience.

Amanda describes herself as an integrative therapist who has explored her own life as part of training. She draws on several approaches to match what each person brings to sessions. Conversations may include exploring feelings, patterns in relationships, memories, and symbolic material such as dreams.

Her work includes attention to intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related concerns, as well as practical struggles such as coping with illness, separation, or career and life transitions. She also supports people working through abandonment, attachment and family-of-origin questions.

Sessions often invite reflection on meaning, values and identity, using psychodynamic and Jungian ideas alongside client-centred listening. Where trauma is central, trauma-focused methods are used to help the person manage distress and make sense of their experience.

Amanda notes that she continues her own therapy and regular supervision as part of professional development. She aims to be straightforward and grounded in sessions, helping people notice patterns and try different ways of relating to themselves and others.

How Amanda’s therapeutic approaches work for online counselling

Amanda draws on client-centred practice and psychodynamic and Jungian ideas. Client-centred work focuses on listening and helping the person clarify their own concerns and values. It is useful for stress, self-esteem and everyday relationship issues.

Psychodynamic and Jungian approaches look at recurring patterns, inner imagery and dreams. These methods help when someone wants to understand long-standing relationship patterns, family-of-origin themes, identity or meaning. Trauma-focused methods are used when trauma and abuse are part of the history, with techniques aimed at helping the person manage distress and process traumatic material.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss the options and agree what to try based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit counselling around work, family and daily life. They can reduce travel time, make it easier to maintain regular appointments and allow for a shorter check-in when needed.
