Amanda Turner
Compassionate counsellor focused on your priorities
About Amanda
Amanda Turner is a counsellor with seven years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works in a friendly, non-judgemental way and invites clients to set the pace and focus for each session. She holds BACP accreditation, which she keeps visible as part of her professional identity.
Amanda prefers a person-centred stance that places the client’s perspective first. She encourages people to lead conversations about what matters most to them while she listens, reflects and helps clarify feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to give people room to make sense of their experiences without pressure. Her practice supports a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief and relationship difficulties. She also works with issues around self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, career questions, and neurodiversity matters such as autism and attention differences.
Amanda uses practical talking approaches alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness techniques where helpful. That can mean noticing unhelpful thought patterns, trying small changes in behaviour, and practising simple grounding or breathing exercises between sessions. People can expect straightforward, warm conversations rather than technical jargon.
Amanda draws on her own life experience to stay grounded and approachable. She aims to create a calm space where people can express difficult emotions and begin to make changes that fit their life. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used then sessions are scheduled according to the therapist’s availability.

How her approaches work online
Amanda uses client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness in her online practice. Client-centred therapy means the person directs the session while the counsellor listens and reflects; this helps when people need space to talk through feelings and make sense of what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try small changes that can reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to bring focus into the present and reduce overwhelm.Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Amanda will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggest methods to try. Together they can adjust the approach as sessions progress to match what feels most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face style conversations, phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can work well for brief check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility to schedule around work, family or other commitments and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent over time.
