About Amanda
Amanda Durrell is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and other life changes. Her approach centres on listening to each person’s story and recognising their existing strengths.
Amanda uses client-centred therapy to encourage open conversation. She helps people talk through what is causing frustration, anger or low motivation. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, noticing patterns and finding practical ways to respond differently in everyday life.
She often supports people dealing with intimacy-related issues, sleeping difficulties and symptoms of depression. Practical topics she addresses include communication problems, control issues and the emotional aftermath of separation or infertility. Amanda also works with those carrying caregiver stress, grief from loss, isolation or feelings of shame and guilt.
In sessions she aims to follow the person's lead while offering reflective feedback and gentle challenge. That can include naming recurring reactions, trying simple behavioural changes, or rehearsing new ways to speak with others. The emphasis is on short, concrete steps people can use between meetings.
Amanda asks clients to take the first step by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking an initial appointment. She regards the first sessions as a time to agree goals and decide how best to proceed. If you are unsure what to expect, selecting the See online therapy options button starts the process.
How sessions work
How Amanda uses client-centred work online
Amanda works from a Client-Centred Therapy standpoint, which means the conversation is led by the person attending. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps the client name feelings and choices. This approach suits stress, relationship strain, anger that surfaces in daily life and personal changes.Client-Centred Therapy emphasises respect for the person's perspective and moves at their pace. That can make it easier to talk through painful events like grief, betrayal or long-standing resentment. Amanda helps people clarify what they want to change and supports small, practical steps between sessions.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Amanda will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs in early sessions and work collaboratively to decide what helps most. She will check in about progress and adapt the approach as the work continues.
