Amanda Turner, BACP

Amanda Turner is a counsellor with seven years of experience who works from a person-centred approach. She uses a friendly, non-judgemental style and encourages people to lead sessions so their own priorities guide the work. Amanda is listed with the BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she sees clients in the United Kingdom.

Amanda often supports people dealing with loss, low mood and anxiety. People also come to her for help with relationship strain, grief, addiction, sexuality and anger. She listens without judgement and aims to make space for whatever a person brings to the room.

In sessions she helps people sort through thoughts and feelings and make clearer choices about what to do next. She asks open questions and reflects what she hears so clients can see their situation with more clarity. The client’s priorities shape the work and Amanda follows their lead while offering practical suggestions when useful.

Amanda blends client-centred ways of working with elements of cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness. This mix supports people who need straightforward tools for stress, sleep, eating issues and coping with life changes. She also offers support around attachment, abandonment and family-related concerns.

Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, aiming to reduce shame and isolation. Amanda has lived experience of trauma and uses that to inform a compassionate way of working. If someone wants a calm, listening counsellor who can also offer practical techniques, her style may fit well.

How Amanda uses client-centred, CBT and mindfulness online

Amanda works from a client-centred foundation which means she follows what matters most to the person in front of her. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people feel heard as they decide what to work on. It is useful for sorting out emotions, relationship strain and managing everyday stresses.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, offers straightforward ways to notice patterns of thinking and change unhelpful behaviours. Amanda can introduce simple CBT techniques to help with anxiety, low mood, sleep and eating concerns. Mindfulness therapy involves practices that bring attention to the present moment and reduce rumination; brief mindfulness exercises can be helpful for stress, anger and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest what might fit best. The plan can change as progress is made so the work stays relevant and practical.
