About Amanda
Amanda Brady is a therapeutic counsellor who works with people facing anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Amanda helps clients talk through low self-esteem, parenting and career challenges, and the effects of trauma or emotional abuse.
She draws on a mix of approaches to tailor sessions to each person. That might mean looking at how early relationships shape current patterns, using practical steps to change thoughts and behaviours, or offering a space to make sense of painful experiences.
Background and approach
Amanda aims to keep sessions straightforward and focussed on what matters to the client. Her practice includes attention to neurodiversity and attention difficulties, with experience supporting people with autism spectrum conditions and ADHD. She also works with people experiencing addiction, grief, intimacy-related concerns and eating or sleeping problems.
Communication and commitment issues often feature in her work as well. Amanda has around five years of professional experience in the UK. Her BACP registration is shown as BACP.
She believes that reaching out is an important first step, and that people already carry strengths that will help them move forward. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Amanda helps clients set practical goals and try small changes between meetings.
She encourages honest feedback so plans can be adjusted as needs evolve.

How Amanda's approaches translate to online work
Amanda uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques in her practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and family of origin problems. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behaviour changes, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will work with each person to choose which methods feel most helpful and adjust them as therapy progresses. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the plan stays relevant to their goals and life circumstances.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm available session formats before booking because the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue work with a therapist from another location, which can help people who move or live abroad.
