About Amanda
Amanda Brady is a therapeutic counsellor registered in the UK with the BACP and has five years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, addictions, grief and trauma-related difficulties.
Amanda asks about the specific problem you bring and what you hope will change. She uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns that keep problems going. Sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding how past experiences shape current feelings and choices.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect trust and closeness. She also uses client-centred ways of working to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive behavioural tools are offered when unhelpful thoughts and behaviours are a clear target.
Amanda helps with issues that often sit together, such as body image, family of origin difficulties, commitment and communication problems, and challenges around parenting or blended families. She supports people struggling with eating and sleeping problems, substance use, and emotional fallout from domestic violence or abandonment.
People who contact her typically want a plain, honest conversation about what is going wrong and some doable steps to try. To start, she asks for a short description of your situation and what you want from counselling. That information helps plan a first session and what to focus on next.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Amanda uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns of trust, closeness and shame. This approach helps when relationship wounds or abandonment fears make it hard to connect or to let go of blame.She also works in a client-centred way, following what each person says matters most. That means conversations focus on the concerns you bring and on building steps that fit your life. Cognitive behavioural methods are used when thoughts and behaviours need a clear plan to change, for example with anxiety, sleep or unhelpful routines.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will talk with you about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you will decide which ideas to try and adjust them as you go.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or travel, and some formats take less time or do not need video. These practical options can help keep therapy manageable alongside everyday life.
