About Amanda
Amanda Parry is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes. Amanda also addresses issues such as guilt and shame, self-esteem, intimacy concerns and compassion fatigue.
Amanda describes her practice as integrative, drawing on several therapeutic approaches to suit the person in front of her. She offers talking therapy alongside work with imagery and dreams when that fits the client’s needs. She draws on her own experience of being a client and regular professional supervision to inform her work.
Sessions focus on making sense of what has happened and on the feelings that keep returning. Amanda listens for the patterns in relationships and family of origin material that affect daily life. She pays attention to how abandonment, attachment and dissociation show up, and how that links with shame or guilt.
Practical concerns such as sleep, concentration and coping with change are part of the work alongside deeper emotional material. Amanda uses psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas to help open up different perspectives. Jungian and existential ideas inform conversations about meaning, purpose and identity.
People who bring complex or layered issues can expect a mix of gentle exploration and clear reflection. Amanda aims to help clients notice recurring themes, try out new ways of thinking and get steadier in day-to-day life. To begin, the site matching questionnaire and booking steps are used to set up a first session.
Approach and online working
A client-centred approach places the person’s experience at the core of sessions. It involves listening closely, reflecting what comes up and following the client’s priorities to make sense of current struggles and feelings. Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns from the past that repeat in the present. It can help with relationship issues, attachment wounds and persistent feelings such as shame or guilt by bringing those patterns into awareness. Trauma-focused therapy addresses the impact of traumatic events on everyday life. It works with the way memories, emotions and bodily responses continue to affect someone and can be helpful for people who carry distress from past abuse or sudden loss. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and decide together which methods fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as the work develops. Please confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt sessions to suit day-to-day routines and commitments.Areas of expertise
