Amanda Turner, BACP

Amanda Turner is a counsellor with seven years of experience who offers a warm, person-centred way of working. She meets people where they are and helps them talk through what matters most. Sessions are led by the client, with Amanda supporting them to make sense of thoughts and everyday habits that influence mood and behaviour.

She aims to create a friendly and non-judgemental space for talking about loss, low mood and anxiety. Common reasons people come include relationship strains, grief, coping with life changes, addictions, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Amanda also works with concerns such as eating and sleeping problems, parenting stresses, career pressures and neurodiversity-related questions.

In practical terms she listens and reflects back what she hears. She helps clients clarify how they think and feel, and looks at patterns that keep problems going. Where useful, she draws on cognitive and mindfulness-based ideas to try new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings.

Amanda describes herself as approachable and caring, and says her own life experience informs her empathy. She encourages people to speak freely without fear of judgement. The focus in sessions is decided by the client and shaped around their goals.

She holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English in the United Kingdom. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Amanda's approaches translate to online therapy

Amanda works in a person-centred way that puts the client's priorities first. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and supporting people to name what matters. It suits issues such as low mood, grief and relationship worries where being heard is the main task.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps people notice patterns in their thoughts and everyday habits that affect mood and behaviour. CBT is practical and often includes simple exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy is used to help clients build awareness of thoughts and bodily responses and to practise calmer ways of responding to stress and anxiety.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work, and Amanda will collaborate with each person to decide what fits their needs and goals. She will help set aims and suggest techniques to try, adjusting the plan as things change.

The original profile does not list the specific session formats offered, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and mindfulness practices so they work well in remote sessions.
