About Amanda
Amanda Burridge offers straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She writes simply and listens closely. Her style aims to help someone feel heard and begin to find practical steps forward.
Amanda uses a calm, curious and gently caring manner in sessions. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to make space for whoever is speaking, and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and actions that affect mood.
Background and approach
Sessions can include practical ideas as well as time to reflect. Her background includes work supporting people through bereavement, illness and caregiving strain. She also works with issues such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulty, sleep disruption and parenting stress.
Amanda has experience with life-stage concerns like midlife questions, pregnancy and postpartum depression, and end-of-life and hospice related matters. Clients can expect a human-centred approach that balances listening with gentle challenge. Amanda aims to help people notice what they can change and what they might accept.
She sometimes brings lightness and warmth into sessions when appropriate. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Amanda practises from the United Kingdom and conducts work in English.

How Amanda uses talking therapies online
Amanda works from two main approaches adapted for online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving the person space to tell their story while the counsellor listens without judgement; it helps with grief, life transitions and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical strategies for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day realities to choose methods that suit the person. She aims to be collaborative so sessions can shift between listening and practical exercises as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use body language and a more conversational format. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quieter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief, on-the-go contact and can fit around work or caregiving. These options help people access support from different locations and at different times while keeping the focus on progress.
