About Amanda
Amanda Durrell uses a client-centred way of working to help people feel heard and understood. She focuses on building a trusting space where clients can talk at their own pace. Amanda has four years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, listed as BACP.
Amanda helps with stress and anxiety and offers support around low mood and depression. She also helps people manage relationship problems and intimacy-related issues. Practical matters like sleep problems, anger and coping with life changes are part of her work.
How Amanda works
She provides support with grief and loss and with the long-term effects of trauma and abuse. Other areas she addresses include self-esteem, motivation, and feelings of isolation and loneliness. Amanda also supports people facing fertility issues, divorce and separation, and family problems.
Her client-centred approach means the conversation is shaped by the person in front of her. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the individual and building on their strengths. This makes it easier to try out changes that fit day-to-day life.
Amanda works with adults in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to suit their needs.

Online support options
Client-centred support delivered online
Amanda's main approach is Client-Centred Therapy. This method focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what the client says. It helps people who need space to make sense of feelings like anxiety, grief or isolation and to build confidence in their own decisions.The choice of approach is explored together. Amanda works collaboratively to find what fits each person's goals and preferences. She will discuss how sessions might look and adjust the way she works if something does not feel helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and reading body language. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need support between calls.
These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can use the different formats to meet practical needs while focusing on the issues that matter to the client.
