Client-centred counsellor focused on practical change
About Amanda
Amanda Durrell uses a client-centred approach to help people who are feeling overwhelmed. She listens without judgement and aims to make each session feel calm and straightforward. Amanda holds a BACP accreditation and draws on four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
She works with common problems such as stress and anxiety, low mood and depression, and sleep difficulties. Relationship and intimacy concerns are also a focus, along with grief and coping with major life changes.
Background and approach
Amanda pays attention to how past hurts can affect current patterns and day-to-day coping. Sessions are conversational and paced to suit each person. Amanda helps people notice their strengths and use them to manage anger, reduce shame, or rebuild self-esteem.
She encourages practical steps alongside honest reflection so progress can feel steady and real. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, communication struggles, and problems around fertility, divorce or separation. Amanda also supports people dealing with isolation, forgiveness, and finding a clearer life purpose.
Amanda offers work in English from her UK base. She provides support through a mix of session formats to suit different needs. Starting therapy with her involves a short matching questionnaire and then booking a session that fits the person’s schedule.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy
Amanda's main approach is Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions. This method suits worries like anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and grief because it supports personal exploration at the person's own pace.In practice Amanda keeps sessions simple and person-focused online. She helps people notice their strengths, talk through difficult feelings, and try small, practical steps between meetings. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; she will work with each person to choose ways of working that match their needs, goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit everyday life. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion when needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when a quieter format suits a person's routine. These options make it easier to book regular time and to keep momentum between appointments.
