Amanda Durrell

Amanda Durrell works from a client-centred approach. She listens first, then follows each person's pace and priorities. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at helping people manage stress, anger and anxiety.

Amanda has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which she uses to guide her practice. She helps people talk through relationship strain, grief and loss, low self-esteem and difficulties with motivation and confidence.

In sessions Amanda focuses on what matters most to the person in front of her. She encourages people to name practical steps they can try between meetings. Conversations are shaped around the client's own goals and lived experience rather than imposed techniques.

She also supports people who are dealing with change, isolation and issues around attachment or caregiving stress. Topics such as sleeping problems, intimacy-related concerns and depression are addressed by exploring current patterns and small adjustments that can improve day-to-day life.

Amanda invites a collaborative relationship where clients help set the agenda. She explains the process clearly and supports people as they try new ways of coping. Taking that first step is often the hardest part, and she aims to make it feel manageable.

Client-centred care and remote counselling options

Amanda works from a client-centred perspective, which means she focuses on understanding each person's experience and following their lead. This approach helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger and relationship problems by creating space to talk and reflect without judgement.

That client-centred way of working also supports grief, low self-esteem and life transitions. Amanda listens for what feels most important to the person and helps them set short-term goals. Together they decide which topics to tackle and what practical steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Amanda will work collaboratively to choose the approach that suits the client's needs, goals and preferences. She encourages open discussion about how sessions feel and adapts her style as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow people to check in from wherever they are. It can also make shorter or more frequent appointments easier to arrange when that's helpful.
