Amanda Burridge

Amanda Burridge is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anger and related difficulties. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship strain. Her style is calm and down-to-earth, and she aims to make conversations feel simple and human.

She uses a person-centred way of working that places the client's experience at the heart of the session. That means Amanda listens carefully and reflects back what she hears so people feel understood. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, helping people spot patterns of thinking that keep them stuck and try small practical changes.

Amanda has four years of experience and holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration shown in her profile. Her background includes supporting people through grief, serious illness and caregiving stress. She has helped people navigate life changes such as pregnancy, bereavement and midlife shifts.

In sessions she aims for a gentle, curious tone and sometimes uses light humour when appropriate. Practical skills and compassionate listening are both part of her work. She encourages clients to notice small changes and to build on what already works for them.

People who choose Amanda can expect an approachable counsellor who focuses on everyday ways to reduce distress. To arrange a first step, follow the site's booking process and complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling can be organised.

How Amanda blends person-centred work and CBT online

Amanda uses person-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people feel less overwhelmed and more able to cope. Person-centred work means she listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps people find their own answers rather than telling them what to do. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying small practical changes to thinking or behaviour to ease mood and reduce anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will talk with clients about what feels most helpful and adapt methods to match their goals and preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to try different ways of working and see what helps in day-to-day life.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use a consistent counsellor even when life circumstances change, while keeping the focus on practical coping skills and steady listening.
