About Amanda
Amanda Brady is a counsellor who uses attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. She holds BACP accreditation and practises in the United Kingdom. Amanda aims to make talking about hard things feel straightforward and manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
Amanda helps people facing stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports those coping with ADHD, addiction, grief, trauma and problems with intimacy. Practical issues such as sleeping, eating, parenting and career difficulties are part of her day-to-day work.
How Amanda works
Her approach starts by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. Amanda helps clients notice the patterns that keep causing pain and then tries small, doable changes. She uses ideas from attachment work and cognitive methods to link past experiences with current difficulties and to try new coping skills.
Sessions are shaped by the client’s pace and priorities. Amanda draws on psychodynamic thinking when useful to look at long-standing patterns, and trauma-focused methods when a history of abuse or loss is present. Conversations are direct but compassionate and focused on practical next steps.
She welcomes people from a range of backgrounds and offers sessions in English. Amanda works online and via phone, chat or messaging, and supports people who are outside the UK as well.

How Amanda uses talking therapies online
This counsellor uses attachment-based work to explore how early relationships affect current connections and patterns. Attachment-based therapy can help when people struggle with trust, fear of abandonment or repeating the same relationship problems.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. This approach is often used alongside trauma-focused methods when someone has experienced abuse or loss.
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Amanda will work with each person to identify their goals, try out methods, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The therapist frames therapy as collaborative and paced to the client's needs and preferences.
Online therapy gives flexibility for people with busy lives or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, while live chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and to try different formats as needs change.
