Amanda Burridge, BACP

Amanda Burridge is a warm, attentive counsellor who works with people facing grief, loss, and the emotional impacts of illness, including coping with cancer. She supports clients dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and confidence, and relationship and family challenges, bringing a compassionate, human-centred way of working to each meeting.

Amanda is a fully trained practitioner and a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to recognised professional standards in counselling. She is calm, easy to talk to, and listens with care, creating a therapeutic relationship built on trust and mutual respect.

Her approach is gentle, curious and caring, and she often uses a touch of humour where it feels right. In bereavement, illness or difficult life transitions, Amanda helps people notice their own capacity for change and a sense of positive potential that can come from connecting as human beings rather than only as client and therapist. Together she and the client work toward healing and practical ways to move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Amanda Burridge draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the pace and focus of each session. This approach emphasizes empathic listening and genuine understanding, and it can be especially helpful for grief, relationship concerns, self-esteem and life transitions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT offers practical tools and strategies to address anxiety, low mood, stress and sleep difficulties by helping clients identify patterns and test new ways of thinking and acting.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amanda works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts her style as the work progresses.

Online therapy with Amanda is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities or limited mobility. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access therapists and licensed professionals from home or wherever is most convenient.
