Amanda Durrell , BACP

Amanda Durrell is a UK-licensed therapist with four years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief and loss, and issues around motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She practices from a client-centered perspective, placing the individual's experience at the heart of the therapeutic process and drawing on each person's existing strengths to work through difficult moments. Amanda approaches conversations with empathy and respect, helping people explore what matters to them and build practical ways to cope and grow.

Her work often focuses on relationship and family dynamics, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, sleep difficulties, anger, and depression, as well as a range of related issues such as attachment and abandonment, communication problems, caregiver stress, and infertility or separation. Amanda values the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to create a supportive environment where clients can reflect, regain perspective, and move toward their goals.

She holds the BACP credential - a recognised membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development in counselling practice.

Client-Centered Therapy and Flexible Online Sessions

Amanda practices client-centered therapy, a collaborative approach that emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect for each person's lived experience. In this model the therapist supports clients to identify their own goals and to access personal strengths, which can be especially helpful for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and self-esteem issues.

In addition to this core approach Amanda focuses on creating a pace and structure that fits each person, helping them explore emotions and practical coping strategies without imposing a fixed agenda. This collaborative process helps clarify what is most useful for a client's goals and circumstances and guides decisions about how therapy proceeds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by making sessions available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, and other commitments, to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, and to maintain continuity of care when in-person appointments are not possible. Licensed professionals can adapt therapeutic methods to these formats to support progress in a way that suits each individual's needs.
