About Amanda

Amanda Turner works with people on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression and other life challenges using a person-centred approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years' experience.

Amanda uses a counsellor-led, client-focused style that lets the person decide what to cover in each session. She encourages clients to lead discussions about what matters to them. Sessions focus on helping people clarify thoughts and feelings and supporting them through practical next steps.

Her practice often supports people dealing with loss in many forms, including low mood, anxiety, grief and relationship strain. She also works with issues such as addiction, sexuality questions, anger and the stresses of life change. Amanda welcomes conversations about parenting, career concerns and struggles with sleep or eating.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. She aims to listen without judgement and to reflect what the client says so they can see patterns and options more clearly. Amanda draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness where these help a client make changes.

Having personal experience of trauma, she understands why people may hold back from talking. She offers a consistent, honest manner and focuses on practical ways to talk through emotions. The emphasis is on the client's choices about pace and topic.

Clients can expect a supportive working relationship that prioritises their agenda. Amanda helps people identify steps they can try between sessions and reviews what works as therapy progresses.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Amanda uses client-centred counselling, which means the client sets the agenda and the counsellor follows. This approach helps when someone needs time to work through feelings at their own pace and decide what to focus on.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try practical changes. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and practical coping skills.

Mindfulness therapy is used to bring attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity. Simple mindfulness practices can help with stress, sleep and managing difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will help the client decide which methods to try based on their goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a working day, avoid travel time and choose quieter surroundings, or to have a shorter check-in when energy or bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, generally use online sessions to maintain continuity of care and make counselling more practical for everyday life.
