About Amanda
Counsellor and member of BACP with three years' experience, Amanda Parry works in the United Kingdom with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and life changes. She also supports those dealing with intimacy issues, low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English.
Amanda practises from an integrative perspective. She draws on client-centred, existential, Jungian, psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas to shape conversations. That means sessions often begin with listening and reflecting, then moving to images, dreams or talking about patterns that repeat in life.
She describes having undertaken deep training and personal work, and keeps regular therapy and supervision as part of her practice. This is part of how she stays attentive to the work and the ethical demands of being a counsellor. Amanda uses these elements to think with clients about what they want from counselling.
In a typical meeting she will offer time to talk through what is worrying you and notice recurring themes. She may invite exploration of dreams or imagery when that seems useful. The focus is on helping people recognise patterns and make different choices in everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling works
Amanda draws on client-centred therapy to begin work by listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person. This approach focuses on the client's experience and helps them find their own direction in response to stress, anxiety or life change.She also uses trauma-focused methods to address the effects of traumatic events and abuse. These methods aim to reduce the hold of distressing memories and the ways they affect everyday life. Psychodynamic and Jungian ideas inform how she pays attention to patterns, dreams and imagery that repeat over time.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss options with clients and help decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before you book. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family life or travel by removing the need to travel to a room. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful, and reduce time spent commuting so appointments can fit into a busy day.
