About Amanda
Amanda Turner is a counsellor with seven years' experience who uses a person-centred way of working. She offers a friendly, non-judgemental space where the client guides what gets discussed. Sessions focus on what the client feels will help, with the counsellor alongside to listen and reflect.
Amanda helps people talk through losses and low mood, and she often supports those dealing with anxiety and relationship problems. She also works with issues such as grief, addictions, sexuality, anger and life transitions. Adoption and foster care is listed among the areas she focusses on for people bringing those concerns to sessions.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. She helps clients map their life story, name what they think and feel, and decide what changes matter to them. Conversations aim to make feelings clearer and to find small steps forward rather than using technical jargon.
Amanda describes herself as approachable and understanding, and she draws on her own experience of life difficulties to relate to others. She creates a calm and honest atmosphere where people can express emotions without judgement. That calm tone supports people as they work through difficult moments.
People who prefer to set the agenda and lead the pace of sessions tend to fit this style well. Amanda uses elements of client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural and mindfulness ideas when they suit a client's goals. New clients follow a short intake process to match with her and arrange session times.
How Amanda’s approaches work in online therapy
Amanda uses client-centred work to keep the focus on the client's priorities and perspective. This approach means the counsellor listens closely, mirrors what is said, and follows the client's lead to build understanding and emotional release.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and helps clients try small experiments to change unhelpful routines. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and practical problems such as sleep or coping strategies. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple attention practices that reduce rumination and bring greater calm in stressful moments.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss goals and try different ways of working to find what fits. She aims to match techniques to the person’s needs rather than imposing a single method.
