About Amanda
Amanda Turner is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of clinical practice. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, depression and a wide range of life challenges. Sessions are guided by the client and focus on what the client wants to work on.
Amanda uses a person-centred approach that lets clients lead the conversation. She listens without judgement and supports people as they sort through feelings and choices. Many people come with losses, low mood, anxiety, grief or changes in relationships and Amanda helps them name what feels hard.
She combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour. That practical focus can help when someone wants to try new ways of coping with anxiety or unhelpful routines. Amanda also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help with grounding and paying attention to the present moment.
Her style is straightforward and friendly. She encourages clear thinking about emotions and next steps rather than jargon. Clients are invited to talk about sensitive topics such as sexuality, addiction, family problems and body image at their own pace.
Amanda has experience supporting people through parenting strain, career issues, ADHD-related concerns and intimate relationship difficulties. She asks clients what they want from counselling and then works alongside them to clarify goals and practical steps forward.
How Amanda uses client-centred, CBT and mindfulness online
Amanda works from a person-centred stance online, which means she encourages clients to set the agenda and speak about what matters most to them. This approach supports people who find social situations or speaking up difficult by allowing sessions to move at a comfortable pace.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to notice and test thinking patterns and behaviours that keep anxiety and low mood going. CBT often involves short practical experiments between sessions and clearer steps to change unhelpful habits. Mindfulness practices focus on simple attention exercises and grounding techniques to reduce overload and help with sleep and worry.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will help clients choose which methods to try based on their needs, goals and what feels manageable. She discusses options and adapts as the client gains confidence.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. For people who find meeting new people or speaking up difficult, remote working can reduce some pressures while still allowing direct conversation and practical exercises.
