About Amanda
Amanda Cooper offers support for stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, low self-esteem, addiction, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems and coping with life changes. She also helps with career concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD and issues linked to sexual expression such as BDSM and kink.
Amanda lists LGBT among her focus areas and works with a wide range of emotional difficulties to help people feel steadier and more able to cope.
Background and approach
Amanda has worked in clinical practice for over 13 years. For the past decade she has led short-term residential wellbeing facilities in Warwickshire, where she provided therapy, supervised teams and developed psychological programmes. That work exposed her to complex presentations and to the ways behaviour often points to deeper issues such as past trauma or current environmental pressures.
Her approach aims to get beneath surface symptoms like alcohol use or repeated relationship arguments to find what is driving them. She uses narrative, memory work and metaphor to challenge negative thoughts, and offers trauma recovery processes when relevant. She also supports practical life changes such as career moves and transitions.
Amanda holds an MSc with Merit in Organisational Psychology from Birkbeck, University of London, a Bachelor of Science (Hons) First Class in Psychology and a Diploma in Psychotherapy from the Human Givens Institute. She is an NCPS credential holder and has experience using psychometric testing. She describes her style as non-judgemental, proactive and adaptable.
Sessions are intended to move people forward from the first appointment, and Amanda often exchanges brief messages before a first meeting to make the best use of session time.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
The profile references evidence-based therapeutic techniques and specific tools such as narrative work, memory-based approaches and trauma recovery processes. Narrative approaches use personal stories and metaphor to change the meaning of difficult memories and reduce negative self-beliefs, often helping with low mood and relationship patterns. Memory-focused work addresses how past events are stored and recalled, which can ease phobias and some trauma symptoms when done carefully.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with you to identify which techniques match your needs, goals and preferences, and adapt methods as you go. You should expect discussion about what feels helpful and what does not, with adjustments made together.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and offering flexibility in how you connect. The biography mentions video, phone and messaging as options Amanda uses, so confirm the exact formats available before booking. Remote sessions can allow for shorter check-ins, quieter surroundings, or not needing to be on camera, which helps some people engage more readily. Registered or accredited professionals can carry the same therapeutic work into online sessions when approach and goals are carefully matched.
