Amanda Durrell, BACP

Amanda Durrell is a UK-registered therapist with four years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Amanda believes that clients are the experts in their own stories and that therapy is a collaborative process. She aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can take the often-difficult first step toward change. Amanda is accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which represents counsellors and psychotherapists working in the UK and reflects professional standards in practice.

Client-Centered Therapy Online with Flexible Access

Client-Centered Therapy is Amanda’s primary approach. This method focuses on listening deeply to each person’s experience, offering empathy and acceptance while supporting clients to identify their own solutions. It is helpful for concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, and confidence challenges because it prioritises the client’s pace and goals.

Alongside this, Amanda emphasises a strengths-focused, collaborative stance that recognises the resources people already bring to change. Rather than directing outcomes, she works with clients to build on capabilities and clarify priorities, tailoring the work to individual needs and circumstances.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Amanda treats that as a collaborative decision. Together with the client she will explore how the client-centered approach fits their goals and adapt techniques as needed to ensure the best possible fit.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - Amanda provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to meet different needs and schedules. This range of options makes it easier to access regular support, balance therapy with other commitments, and engage in ways that feel most comfortable for the individual.
