Amanda Burridge, BACP

Amanda Burridge is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She works with those facing depression, relationship strain, sleep problems and the practical pressures of parenting and caring. Amanda uses a calm, curious style that aims to make it easier to talk about hard things.

She focuses on building a supportive therapeutic relationship where people feel heard. Sessions are conversational and grounded in what the person needs right now. Amanda brings warmth and a gentle sense of humour when appropriate to help people notice where they can make small changes.

Amanda uses client-centred ways of working alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, tailoring conversations to each person. That means she listens first, then helps people try steps that can change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. The work is practical and paced to individual needs.

Her additional focus areas include caregiver stress, ageing and geriatric concerns, attachment issues, cancer and hospice or end-of-life counselling. Amanda also supports people coping with life transitions such as midlife change, pregnancy and postpartum depression, and finding life purpose.

She is registered with the BACP, works in the United Kingdom, and conducts sessions in English. People who want to start can use the platform process to match and schedule a first appointment.

How Amanda uses talking therapies online

Amanda works with two main approaches that shape online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgement. It helps people feel understood and to explore what matters most to them in a steady, supportive way.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical steps. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues and coping with change by giving clear strategies to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Amanda will listen to your goals and preferences and then agree with you which methods to try. She adapts the balance between gentle listening and active CBT work so it fits each person's needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around caring responsibilities and daily life. It can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and help people access support from different locations while keeping appointments manageable.
