About Amanda
Amanda Burridge is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and parenting concerns, and helps those coping with grief, loss and long-term illness. Amanda aims to be calm and approachable in sessions and listens closely to what matters to each person.
Amanda uses a warm, curious style and treats the meeting as a human conversation. She encourages people to notice small changes and moments of hope.
Background and approach
Sessions can include practical steps to manage worry and low mood as well as space to talk about feelings around illness or bereavement. Her practice draws on client-centred listening alongside techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT. That mix allows sessions to be paced by the person's needs while also offering tools to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviour.
Amanda is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. She has four years of direct counselling experience working with adults on issues such as self-esteem, relationship difficulty, sleep problems and life changes. People who want a gentle, pragmatic approach often find her style helpful.
Amanda aims to build a supportive relationship, bring clarity to difficult moments and help people take steps toward feeling better.

Approaches and online options for practical change
Amanda uses client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy as complementary ways of working. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what matters most to the person, which helps when someone needs space to make sense of grief, life changes or low mood. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, gives clear, practical techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for anxiety, sleep problems and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to prioritise reflective listening, practical CBT exercises, or a blend of both and adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and text are handy for brief reflections, messaging between sessions or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and other everyday demands.
