About Amanda
Amanda Burridge is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, self-esteem and a range of life changes. Amanda also supports people facing relationship strain, sleep difficulties, parenting pressures and career-related stress.
Amanda uses straightforward methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thinking patterns and Client-Centred Therapy to keep conversations grounded and person-focused. Sessions aim to be practical and to identify small changes that make a daily difference.
People contact Amanda for support through bereavement, serious illness and caregiving stress. She also works with midlife questions, pregnancy and postpartum challenges, and the emotional strain that comes with ageing or a cancer diagnosis. Practical concerns such as anger, communication problems and feelings of emptiness are included in her practice.
Her style favours clear discussion and gentle curiosity. Amanda listens, reflects what she hears and helps set manageable steps between sessions. She uses everyday language and simple tools rather than technical jargon.
Sessions begin by clarifying what matters most right now and setting short-term goals. Over a few meetings she and the client review what is working and adjust the approach. People who prefer a direct, organised way of working tend to find this method helpful.
How CBT and client-centred work in online sessions
Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in behaviour. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework to try between meetings, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Client-Centred Therapy is used to keep sessions focused on what matters to the individual. This approach means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps the person set their own goals and pace of change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss goals and preferences at the start and make small changes to the plan as needed. The process is collaborative: the client and therapist review what helps and adjust methods together.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow video-free sessions if a quieter or lower-bandwidth option works better. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format suits your situation when you schedule a first appointment.
