Amanda Carberry-Tully, BACP

Amanda Carberry-Tully offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, life changes and addiction. She also helps with grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting worries, anger and career questions. Amanda is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registered counsellor with six years' experience. She works with each person as an individual and centres sessions on their priorities.

Amanda uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client at the heart of the conversation. Sessions focus on listening and understanding, not judgement, so people can explore what matters to them. She aims to build a calm, respectful relationship where a person can take things at their own pace.

In practice Amanda helps people set short-term, achievable goals while also noticing deeper patterns that affect daily life. She blends client-centred principles with solution-focused techniques to keep sessions practical and forward moving. This approach can help with mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar, as well as anxiety, phobias and obsessive worries.

She has supported people dealing with domestic violence, sexual assault and abuse, guilt, shame and issues around infidelity and jealousy. Amanda also works on more specific concerns such as hoarding, ageing and geriatric issues, midlife crisis and men's issues. Her experience includes helping people handle addictions and the stresses of caring and parenting.

Amanda offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Appointments are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging according to each person’s needs and circumstances. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session to suit them.

How client-centred and solution-focused work online helps

Amanda practises client-centred counselling, which means she follows the person's lead and listens with empathy. This approach helps when someone needs time to make sense of feelings, build self-understanding and regain confidence. It is useful for anxiety, grief and recovery from abuse.

She also uses solution-focused methods that concentrate on small, practical steps. Those techniques help people identify immediate goals and try different strategies between sessions. They can be effective for stress, coping with life changes and short-term problem solving.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Amanda will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods as needs and goals change. The work is collaborative so the person and counsellor decide together which ideas to try next.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling easier to fit into daily life. Video calls are good for a near face-to-face experience, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility for different routines, mobility needs and communication preferences.
