About Amanda

Amanda Brady is a therapeutic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years of practice supporting people who mention depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, autism spectrum conditions and ADHD.

Amanda works in a straightforward way that focuses on what is happening now and what practical steps might help. Sessions are conversational and aim to identify strengths that can be used to manage stress and day-to-day pressures. She also addresses the effects of past trauma and emotional abuse when these come up.

Her approach draws from attachment-based ideas and client-centred ways of working. That means she pays attention to how past relationships shape current problems and listens closely to each person’s priorities. Cognitive behavioural methods are used where helpful to tackle unhelpful thinking and habits.

Amanda also uses psychodynamic thinking to look at recurring patterns, and trauma-focused tools when someone has been harmed or overwhelmed. These approaches are brought together in practical ways so people can try things between sessions and notice small changes.

She accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally and offers sessions in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment using the site’s online options.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work

Amanda draws on attachment-based and client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and interactions, helping people notice repeating behaviour and try new ways of relating. A client-centred approach focuses on the person’s own priorities and relies on attentive listening to shape the work. Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical changes that reduce stress and anxiety.

Choosing a suitable approach is part of the process. Amanda will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process aimed at finding manageable steps and ways to measure progress over time.

Confirm the current session formats before booking as they are shown when scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time and allow a quieter check-in when someone needs a shorter session or less visual focus. Many people find it simpler to keep momentum between meetings when sessions are arranged around everyday routines.
