Amanda Durrell, BACP

Amanda Durrell works from a client-centred approach that puts the person at the heart of therapy. She encourages people to lead the pace and focus of sessions while offering steady, respectful support. Amanda holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide ethical practice in her work across the United Kingdom.

Amanda has four years of professional experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She also helps with low mood, anger, sleep difficulties and grief. Sessions often look at self-esteem, motivation and feeling stuck after life changes.

Relationship and intimacy concerns are a regular focus, including communication problems, infidelity and separation. She also supports people dealing with family problems, caregiver stress and attachment-related worries. Practical concerns such as fertility, ageing and feelings of isolation are also within her scope.

Amanda works one-to-one with people who want a warm, non-judgemental space to talk things through. She treats clients as experts on their own lives and helps them build on their existing strengths. Sessions aim to increase understanding and find steps that fit each person’s life.

People can expect straightforward language and a calm, patient presence in sessions. Amanda invites curious, honest conversation rather than quick fixes. She encourages small, manageable changes that fit into everyday life.

Client-centred approaches delivered online

Amanda practises Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions focus on empathetic listening and helping people lead the conversation. This approach suits worries about anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and life transitions because it prioritises understanding each person's experience and values.

Finding the right approach is something she works on together with the client. Amanda will discuss what feels most useful, adapt methods as needs change, and check in about goals and pace throughout therapy. This keeps the process collaborative and tailored to the individual's situation.

Online therapy offers practical ways to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls let people keep face-to-face connection without travel. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing their thoughts or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to try different formats until the best fit is found.
