About Amanda
Amanda Turner is a counsellor with seven years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She uses a client-centred approach and aims to create an honest, approachable space where people decide what to focus on. Amanda offers sessions for common concerns such as low mood, anxiety and relationship stress.
She meets people where they are and supports them through practical next steps. Amanda encourages clients to lead each session because they know their lives best.
How Amanda works
She listens without judgement and helps people name what they think and feel. That approach is practical and down-to-earth rather than full of jargon. Her background shows steady work helping people manage grief, coping with life changes and addiction concerns.
She also supports those experiencing trauma and abuse, intimacy difficulties, and issues linked to identity and sexuality. Amanda works with a wide range of everyday problems, from sleep and eating struggles to job stress and low self-esteem. In sessions she often uses client-centred techniques alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and simple mindfulness practices.
That mix helps people spot unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and calm racing thoughts. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what the client wants to achieve. Amanda aims to be warm and practical.
She draws on personal experience of hardship to stay grounded in people’s real lives. The focus is on clear, manageable steps so that conversations lead to helpful change.

How Amanda's approaches work online
A client-centred approach focuses on what matters most to the person in front of the counsellor. Amanda listens, reflects and follows the client’s lead so sessions centre on the client’s priorities and experiences.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. Amanda uses simple CBT techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, practical behaviour changes to reduce distress.
Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and to how the body and mind respond to stress. Short mindfulness exercises can help calm racing thoughts and improve sleep and focus.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will talk through options, try different techniques and agree what best fits each person’s goals and preferences. She adapts methods over time if something does not feel helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging can fit into a busy day. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or movement limitations while still using established counselling methods.
