Amanda BurridgeBACP

Amanda Burridge welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, uncertain or worn down by life changes. She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, sleep trouble and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing grief, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and the stresses that come with caregiving and illness.

Amanda works in a calm and straightforward way. She listens carefully and aims to make space for what matters most to each person. Sessions are conversational and practical, with attention to everyday problems and steps people can take between meetings.

Her background includes four years of professional practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience includes supporting people through bereavement, chronic illness and major life transitions. Amanda describes her style as gentle, curious and caring, and she sometimes uses humour where it helps.

In therapy she combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas. That means she focuses first on the person in front of her, and also uses practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviours. The aim is to help people feel more capable and less stuck.

People who choose Amanda can expect a steady, human approach to difficult issues. She encourages realistic steps forward and pays attention to the small changes that build stronger coping over time.

How Amanda's approaches can work online

Amanda uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in her practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and building a strong working relationship to help people feel heard and understood. It suits people who want a supportive space to talk through feelings and make sense of changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to help reduce anxiety, lift mood and improve sleep or daily routines.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Amanda treats this as a collaborative process and will help you choose which methods suit your goals and preferences. She will adapt the balance between listening and practical tasks as you go.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or medical appointments and can reduce travel time. It also lets people have shorter check-ins or more flexible scheduling when needed, helping therapy fit into everyday life rather than the other way around.
