About Amanda
Amanda Turner is a counsellor who offers a person-centred way of working. She meets people with warmth and straightforwardness and helps them set the focus for each session. Amanda uses plain language and encourages clients to lead, because they know their lives best.
She draws on seven years of practice and holds BACP membership, which guides her work in the United Kingdom. Amanda commonly supports people dealing with low mood, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties.
Background and approach
She also works with issues such as addiction, anger, self-esteem and questions around sexuality, including LGBT concerns. In sessions she helps people map their life story and notice how thoughts and feelings link together. That can make confusing problems feel clearer and more manageable.
Amanda describes her style as open, approachable and non-judgemental, and she aims to offer a steady, listening presence. Her approach blends client-centred ways of listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural ideas and simple mindfulness exercises. She invites clients to try techniques and then decide what feels useful for them.
Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and what steps feel doable. Amanda also notes she has personal experience of trauma, which informs her empathy and understanding. To begin, a person can choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work
Amanda uses client-centred therapy, where the person leads the conversation and the counsellor follows. This approach focusses on listening and reflecting what the client says so they can understand their own feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try practical steps to change behaviour and mood. Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce stress and ground emotions.Choosing the right approach is usually a team effort. Amanda will discuss what feels most helpful and try different tools alongside the client. Over time she and the client decide which methods suit the person’s goals and daily life, adjusting the plan as needed.
The practical benefits of working online depend on the formats offered, which are not specified in the biography. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. A collaborative approach helps shape sessions so they slot into everyday routines and address the issues the person wants to change.
