Amanda Turner

Amanda Turner is a counsellor with seven years' experience who offers a warm, person-centred way of working. She uses a friendly, non-judgemental approach and encourages clients to lead the conversation. Amanda believes people are experts in their own lives and focuses on helping them make sense of thoughts and feelings.

She helps people who come with low mood, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties, and often supports those dealing with transitions, addiction and anger. Sessions aim to give space to talk through what matters and to untangle confusing emotions.

Amanda draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create an accepting space, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and Mindfulness Therapy to build awareness of the present moment. She combines these approaches to suit each person's needs rather than following one fixed formula.

She describes herself as approachable, open minded and caring, and speaks from her own experience of life’s challenges. That perspective shapes how she listens and responds, offering gentle guidance alongside practical steps where useful.

Sessions are collaborative: Amanda works with each person to clarify goals and decide what to try next. This might include talking through past events, practising new ways of thinking, or using simple mindfulness exercises to manage stress and anger.

If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to Amanda’s availability through the service.

How Amanda’s approaches work in online therapy

Amanda uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own answers. This approach suits those who need space to talk and to make sense of their feelings at their own pace.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical method that helps spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change them. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and stress-related anger.

Mindfulness Therapy is used to build present-moment awareness with simple exercises. These practices can reduce rumination and make it easier to notice triggers before they escalate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will talk with each person about goals, try out different ways of working, and adapt methods to fit needs and preferences. The process is collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Confirm the current online session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. Many people find it helps them keep continuity of care while juggling work, family and other commitments.
