About Amanda

Amanda Burridge helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties through talking therapy. She works with issues such as low self-esteem, depression, sleep problems, parenting strain and coping with life changes. Amanda is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 4 years' experience.

Amanda uses a client-centred approach in sessions. That means she prioritises the person's own concerns and ways of making sense of things, and listens to what matters most to them. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical steps to try between sessions.

Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. Amanda aims for a calm and curious atmosphere and may use gentle humour where appropriate. She talks through problems, reflects understanding, and works with the person to identify small, manageable changes they can try.

Her background includes supporting people through bereavement, serious illness and caregiving stress, and helping with midlife and life-purpose questions. She also has experience with postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth related concerns, and issues linked to ageing and attachment.

Amanda practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. The posting notes a subscription-based payment model that can be cancelled at any time; location-based cost variation applies.

To start, prospective clients are asked to use the site's matching process and schedule a first session. This lets Amanda learn about immediate concerns and agree a practical plan for ongoing work.

How Amanda uses talking therapies online

Amanda works with Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in clear, practical ways. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the person make sense of their experience, which can help with grief, relationship strain and feelings of emptiness. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions, and offers exercises to try between sessions for issues like anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Amanda will listen to the person's goals and preferences, and then agree together on an approach or mix of approaches to try. This makes it easier to focus on practical steps and measure small changes over time.
