About Amanda

Amanda Brady is a therapeutic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of experience. She supports adults who are coping with anxiety, depression, relationship strain and wider life stressors. She also works with people facing ADHD, autism, addiction and trauma-related concerns.

Amanda focuses on clear, practical conversation. She listens for the patterns that make problems repeat. Sessions aim to identify what is keeping someone stuck and to try small, manageable changes. She uses everyday language and avoids jargon.

Her work often covers self-esteem and intimacy-related issues. She also helps with grief, sleeping and eating difficulties, and the pressure of career and parenting choices. People bring worries about family of origin, attachment and abandonment, and Amanda supports those concerns in sessions.

Techniques she draws on include attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural approaches and psychodynamic thinking. Trauma-focused work is part of her practice when people have experienced abuse or repeat harm. The aim is to combine understanding with practical steps people can try between appointments.

Sessions are suitable for people negotiating life changes, recovery from addiction, or exploring identity and relationships. Amanda accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and book an initial session through the online options button.

How her approaches translate to online work

Amanda draws on attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps with relationship problems, commitment worries and feelings of abandonment by linking present behaviour to past experience.

She also uses client-centred methods that prioritise listening and the person’s own goals. That approach supports issues like low self-esteem, career uncertainty and navigating identity without pushing a fixed agenda.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and may shift as needs change.

Confirm which online session formats are available before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make sessions easier to fit around study, work or caring commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins, avoiding travel, and make it simpler to arrange appointments across time zones for international clients.
