About Amanda
Amanda Burridge is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people who are feeling low, overwhelmed or stuck. She works with concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress and bereavement. Amanda aims to create a calm, approachable space where people can talk through what is most pressing for them.
She draws on a person-centred way of working which places the client's experience at the heart of sessions. Amanda also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and practical; the focus is on small changes that add up over time. Amanda holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP. She has four years of professional counselling experience and has supported people through grief, illness, relationship strains and life transitions.
Her background includes working with issues such as parenting stress, sleep problems, anger and self-esteem. In sessions she aims to be calm, curious and warm, and sometimes uses gentle humour to ease difficult conversations. People can expect a listening approach that encourages them to explore feelings at their own pace.
Amanda supports clients dealing with midlife questions, caregiver stress, pregnancy and postpartum challenges, and worries about ageing and serious illness. She offers a straightforward, human approach rather than clinical distance. The aim is to help people notice their capacity for change and to find practical steps toward feeling more able to cope.
Conversations are shaped around each person's goals and life circumstances.

Approaches Amanda lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, often shortened to CBT, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practise new skills for coping with anxiety, sleep problems, anger or depression.
Finding the right approach is treated as a joint process. Amanda will talk through options with each person and decide together what methods suit their goals and preferences. The plan can change as therapy progresses and new needs emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling flexible and easier to fit into daily life. Video calls are useful for fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit those with less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options allow people to work with a therapist from different locations and to choose formats that match their routine and comfort.
