Amanda Turner , BACP

Amanda Turner is a person-centered counsellor who offers a warm, non-judgmental approach that places the client at the center of their own healing. She encourages clients to lead sessions and to explore what matters most to them, working from the client's view of their life so that therapy reflects individual priorities and experiences.

Amanda supports people as they examine their life journey, helping to clarify thoughts and feelings and to make sense of difficult moments. Her work is suited to a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, parenting challenges, and transitions such as divorce or career change. She also addresses concerns related to self-esteem, intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar experiences, and other areas where emotional support can help.

She holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Amanda describes herself as open minded, approachable, and caring, and she draws on her own lived experience of trauma to empathise with people who find it hard to talk about how they really feel. Her practice aims to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where emotions can be expressed and explored as part of the path toward greater clarity and coping.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy invites the client to lead the work while the therapist offers empathic listening and validation. It helps people who want to feel heard and understood as they explore personal values, relationships, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, stress, and difficulties that benefit from practical strategies and structured reflection.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and techniques to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement, which can support regulation of emotions and reduce reactivity. Together these approaches give Amanda options to tailor sessions to individual needs rather than applying a single method to everyone. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which approach or combination feels like the best fit based on their goals, preferences, and circumstances.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility limitations. These formats make it possible to meet consistently without travel, and they allow therapists and licensed professionals to adapt the pace and style of sessions to what works best for each client.
