About Amanda
Amanda Cooper is a counsellor with 13 years of clinical experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or intimacy difficulties. Amanda also helps with addictions, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem and major life changes.
She works in a direct and practical way. Conversations aim to uncover underlying causes of behaviour, not just manage symptoms. That can mean looking at past trauma, environmental stressors, or patterns that keep someone stuck.
Background and approach
Amanda keeps a non-judgemental tone and focuses on realistic steps you can try between sessions. Her background includes leadership of short-term residential wellbeing services in Warwickshire. In that role she provided therapy, supervised clinical teams and developed psychological programmes.
That experience shaped how she approaches complex presentations and co-occurring problems. Amanda has a Master of Science with Merit in Organisational Psychology from Birkbeck, University of London, and a Bachelor of Science with First Class Honours in Psychology from Arden University.
She also holds a Diploma with Merit in Psychotherapy from the Human Givens Institute and a graduate certificate from Harvard University in Philosophy, Ethics, Justice and Memory. She is an Accredited Counsellor Member of the National Counselling Society and holds the Graduate Basis for Membership of the British Psychological Society.
Amanda uses psychometric testing and narrative techniques in her work and is interested in applying new technologies to support wellbeing. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, and she will often exchange a few messages before the first appointment to make the session time productive.

Online support
She also applies trauma-informed methods to identify how traumatic events or stressful environments affect daily life. This involves gentle pacing and working out safe ways to address difficult memories, which can reduce symptoms such as anxiety, flashbacks or sleep disruption.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda treats therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss different options with you. Together you will choose methods that match your goals, needs and comfort level, and adjust the plan as you go.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls give face-to-face connection and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limits while keeping continuity of support.
