Amanda Durrell, BACP

Amanda Durrell is a UK-licensed therapist with four years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She works with individuals facing grief and loss, as well as those seeking help with motivation, self-esteem and confidence. Amanda draws on a client-centered way of working that treats each person as the expert on their own life and builds on existing strengths to address challenges.

Amanda places emphasis on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore what matters most to them and find practical ways to move forward. She encourages small, meaningful steps that support recovery and personal growth while attending to emotions that can feel overwhelming. Amanda values collaboration and tailors sessions to each person’s goals and pace.

She holds the BACP credential, meaning she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Taking the first step to begin therapy can take courage, and Amanda acknowledges that decision while working alongside clients to help them develop resilience and clearer direction.

Client-Centered Care and Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy is at the heart of Amanda Durrell’s practice. This approach focuses on listening closely to each person’s experience and offering empathy and acceptance so clients can explore their feelings and make choices that feel right for them. It is helpful for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and questions about self-esteem.

Amanda also emphasizes a strengths-based, collaborative style that builds on what is already working in a person’s life. Rather than imposing solutions, she supports clients to identify personal resources and small steps that lead to meaningful change. This approach can be useful for coping with grief, motivation challenges and life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Amanda works together with each client to decide what fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. She will help tailor the pace and focus of sessions so the work feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging to suit differing routines and energy levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals while balancing work, family and other commitments.
