Gentle, experiential therapy for deep emotional work
About Amanda
Amanda Parry offers a warm, client-focused approach rooted in several established therapies. She uses empathic listening and open conversation to help people make sense of difficult feelings and situations. Amanda aims to make the first steps feel manageable and straightforward for someone who is anxious or unsure.
She draws on Client-Centred methods to prioritise the person in the room, giving space to speak and be heard without judgement. She also uses Trauma-Focused and Psychodynamic ideas to help untangle painful past experiences and understand patterns that repeat across relationships.
Background and approach
These approaches can help with anxiety, depression, grief and issues connected to intimacy or attachment. Sessions may include talking, reflecting on dreams, or working with imagery to uncover new perspectives. Amanda describes therapy as a collaborative process where curiosity and small experiments can shift how people relate to themselves and others.
She values regular supervision and ongoing personal therapy as part of her professional practice. With three years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Amanda works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. She understands that seeking help can feel daunting and aims to make the process clear and respectful.
People come for support with stress, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, ADHD and life transitions. Amanda also explores concerns such as abandonment, body image, family of origin issues, guilt, loneliness, sexuality and finding life purpose.

How Amanda's Approaches Work Online
Amanda draws on Client-Centred Therapy to centre the person's experience and create a listening-led space. This approach focuses on empathy and the individual's priorities, which can help when someone needs to feel heard about stress, anxiety or relationship concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to carefully address past harms and their ongoing impact, helping people manage symptoms and build coping strategies across daily life.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Amanda will discuss different ways of working and tailor sessions to each person's goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasise listening-led work, trauma-focused techniques or psychodynamic reflection based on what feels most useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls support face-to-face style conversations and visual rapport. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter reflections and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
