About

About Amanda

Amanda Crane is a counsellor and life coach practising in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS as a credential and draws on five years of recent practice to help people manage parenting stresses, anxiety and relationship concerns. Amanda offers short, clear conversations where the client sets the pace.

She combines client-centred listening with practical, solution-focused steps. Sessions aim to make change feel possible rather than overwhelming. Her work covers a broad range of worries.

Background and approach

These include grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, and navigating major life changes. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, career questions and intimacy-related issues. Amanda has experience helping people with family pressures and parenting challenges, including blended family issues and caregiver stress.

She also helps people with attachment concerns, abandonment worries and communication problems that affect everyday life. In sessions Amanda uses approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. The process focuses on where the person is now, what they want to change, and practical steps to get there.

People connect by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin they use the site questionnaire and schedule a session according to therapist availability.

Online support

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online therapy

Amanda brings together Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in ways that suit online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what a person says, which helps people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers straightforward strategies to reduce anxiety, improve sleep or tackle unhelpful patterns.

She may also use Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress in daily life. Each approach is explained and adapted to the person’s goals, and Amanda works collaboratively to choose what fits best. Clients discuss their priorities and agree the pace and methods together rather than following a fixed plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between appointments. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and busy days while keeping the focus on practical change and steady progress.
