About Amanda
Amanda Brady is a therapeutic counsellor who works from a strengths-based perspective. She is registered with the BACP, and she encourages people to use their own resources alongside therapy. Amanda presents a calm, straightforward approach that helps clients take the first practical steps towards feeling better.
She focuses on everyday problems such as stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. Relationship difficulties, career strain and parenting pressures are common topics in her sessions. Amanda also supports people dealing with grief, addictions, sleep and eating issues, and problems with intimacy.
Her background includes five years working with a diverse range of concerns, including ADHD and autism spectrum issues, trauma and emotional abuse, and family of origin difficulties. She draws on psychological approaches to tailor sessions to each person’s situation. Amanda pays attention to patterns from early relationships and how they show up now.
In practice she uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive-behavioural tools to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping. Attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic thinking help uncover repeating relationship patterns and past influences. Trauma-focused techniques are used when people are processing difficult or painful memories.
Amanda aims for clear, manageable steps rather than jargon. She asks about what a person wants to change and works collaboratively to set small goals. Reaching out for help is framed as a positive move, and sessions focus on practical ways to build on existing strengths.
How Amanda's approaches shape online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and self-image, helping people understand why they react the way they do in close relationships. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening without judgement and following what matters most to the individual, which can support men who want a respectful, down-to-earth space to talk. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments to change how they feel and cope day to day.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean trying a CBT technique for coping with anxiety, then using attachment ideas to look at relationship patterns when the time feels right.
