Amanda Brady, BACP

Amanda Brady is a therapeutic counsellor registered in the United Kingdom with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which recognises trained practitioners. She has worked with people experiencing depression and anxiety as well as those facing relationship difficulties, parenting challenges and career-related stress. Amanda also supports clients dealing with low self-esteem, obsessive thoughts, autism spectrum conditions and attention difference. She has experience helping people who have survived trauma or emotional abuse, offering a steady, respectful approach to those concerns.

Amanda works from a strengths-based perspective and believes clients already hold resources that can help them move through hard times. She sees reaching out for help as an important early step and aims to create a supportive environment where practical strategies and personal insight can combine to promote change.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Amanda draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and to support issues such as intimacy concerns, abandonment and attachment difficulties. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured, problem focused approach that helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood and stress. When trauma is a central concern she incorporates Trauma-Focused Therapy techniques to address traumatic memories and their ongoing emotional impact while building coping resources.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amanda works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and she may combine elements from different approaches to create a tailored plan.

Online therapy with Amanda is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and life circumstances. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or while travelling, and allow registered professionals and therapists to adapt the format to suit each client's practical needs.
