Amanda Durrell

Amanda Durrell works from a client-centred approach. She offers a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what is worrying them. Amanda recognises that taking the first step into therapy can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage in the room.

Amanda has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She has supported people dealing with stress and anxiety, low mood and depression, and trouble sleeping. Relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues and communication difficulties are also within her focus.

She helps people cope with life changes such as bereavement and separation, and she addresses grief, guilt and shame in sessions. Amanda also works with the effects of trauma and abuse, and she supports those facing caregiver stress and ageing-related worries.

In practice Amanda listens for each person's strengths and plans small, practical steps alongside them. Sessions tend to focus on what the client wants to change and on building confidence to try different ways of coping. She keeps language plain and uses straightforward questions to make time together feel useful.

People who choose Amanda can expect a steady, non-judgemental presence aimed at helping them sort priorities and find clearer ways forward. If someone is unsure whether therapy is right, Amanda encourages a short initial conversation to talk through next steps.

How client-centred work adapts to online counselling

Amanda practises client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy and following the person’s priorities. This approach helps when someone needs support with anxiety, low mood, grief or relationship strain because the therapist reflects back what matters and helps the client make sense of their experience.

Her work emphasises strengths and practical steps, helping people try small changes between meetings. That makes the approach useful for coping with life transitions such as separation, grief or changes in family roles, as the focus stays on the client’s goals and pace.

Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss different approaches and agree what feels most helpful based on each person’s needs and preferences. She aims to tailor sessions so they fit the client’s goals rather than making the client fit a method.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, or face-to-face style conversations without needing to commute. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity of care while juggling everyday life.
