About Amanda
Amanda Durrell is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of professional experience and works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self‑esteem and motivation.
Amanda uses a client-centred approach. She starts by listening carefully and helps people find their own answers. Sessions focus on what matters to the person, and on practical steps they can try between meetings.
She has worked with people facing life changes, sleep difficulties, anger and depression. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, intimacy issues and family problems. Other areas she often addresses include abandonment, attachment problems, fertility worries and isolation.
In sessions Amanda pays attention to communication and the practical effects of problems on day-to-day life. Conversations often look at coping strategies, managing strong feelings and rebuilding confidence. She aims to make sessions straightforward and goal oriented.
Amanda practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP membership. She offers counselling in English. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and formats to make sure they suit their circumstances.
Client‑Centred counselling and online sessions
Amanda works from a Client‑Centred approach. This means she listens without directing the conversation and supports people to find their own answers. It suits issues where feeling heard and understood helps - for example stress, relationship worries, grief and self‑esteem concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss what helps most and will decide together with the client which ways of working to try. This is a collaborative choice that draws on the client’s goals and preferences.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a quieter setting that fits around work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can offer a range of arrangements, and Amanda will explain the practical options when you begin the matching process.
