About Amanda
Counsellor Amanda Turner is a BACP member with seven years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She offers person-centred counselling and uses approaches including cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. Amanda focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship and trauma and abuse, among many others listed on this profile.
Amanda keeps sessions led by the client. She encourages people to say what matters most to them and decides the focus together. Sessions are conversational and grounded in everyday language rather than technical terms.
She helps people look at their life stories and make sense of feelings and thoughts. Amanda uses reflective listening and gentle questioning to help clarify what someone thinks and feels. She combines this with practical ideas from cognitive behavioural work and mindfulness exercises when helpful.
Many people contact her about loss, low mood, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, addiction and shifts in identity or sexuality. She also works with issues around parenting, sleeping and eating, self-esteem, career change and ADHD among other concerns listed here.
Amanda describes herself as approachable and non-judgemental. She draws on her own experience of hardship when sitting with clients, and aims to offer honest, straightforward support. The client decides the pace and topics, and Amanda adapts the session to what the client needs to talk through next.
How Amanda uses person-centred, CBT and mindfulness work online
Amanda blends person-centred counselling with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. Person-centred work means the client leads the session and Amanda listens closely to what matters most. This helps people who need to talk through choices, loss or everyday pressures.Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of thinking or behaving. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and practical problems such as sleep or worry. Mindfulness practice involves simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and support self-awareness; it can help with stress and with grounding strong feelings.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. Amanda will talk with the client about goals and try different ways of working to find what fits best. She combines listening with practical exercises and checks in about what is helpful as therapy progresses.

Online counselling can be easier to fit around daily life, reduce travel time and make shorter check-ins possible between other commitments. Registered and accredited professionals often use this way of working to help people manage therapy around work, childcare or other practical demands.
