Amanda Turner, BACP

Amanda Turner is a counsellor with seven years' experience supporting people through difficult times. She works from a person-centred outlook and aims to be open, friendly and non-judgemental. Amanda invites clients to lead sessions so their priorities shape the work together.

Amanda helps people name and make sense of strong feelings. She listens as people talk about loss, low mood, anxiety and grief. She also supports those facing relationship strain, addiction, changes at work or home, identity questions and body image concerns.

Her practice focuses on helping people clarify what they think and how they feel. Conversations are guided by the client's needs and the pace feels respectful and steady. Amanda encourages self-awareness and practical steps that fit the person's life.

She blends client-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. That mix is used to challenge unhelpful thinking, build coping skills and develop calm, present-moment awareness. Sessions can include short exercises, reflective talk and simple behavioural tasks.

Amanda works with individual adults in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Appointments can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.

How Amanda's approaches work online

Amanda uses a person-centred approach that prioritises what the client wants to work on and values listening without judgement. This helps create space to talk through feelings and make decisions at a comfortable pace.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying small practical experiments to change thoughts and behaviours. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems. Mindfulness therapy is offered to build present-moment awareness and simple practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Amanda will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and adapt techniques so they fit the individual's life. The emphasis is on collaboration and gradual steps rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit short updates or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy around work, family commitments and travel.
