Amanda Crane, NCPS

Amanda Crane is a Person Centred and Solution Focussed counsellor and life coach practising from Shrewsbury in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS, a recognised counselling credential, and works with people seeking practical support and clearer perspective on personal and family challenges.

Her background includes specialist training in parenting and family work, and in supporting people through anxiety, depression and trauma. Amanda combines counselling and coaching methods to help individuals, parents and families identify goals, develop coping strategies and build healthier patterns in relationships and everyday life.

She offers a non-judgmental, nurturing space where people can explore their experiences and work at their own pace. Amanda aims to collaborate with each person to create a tailored path forward and welcomes those ready to begin that process of change and growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Amanda uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on building a trusting, empathetic relationship and helping people explore their own feelings and choices. This approach is often helpful for those seeking support with relationships, self-esteem and life transitions.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop more effective coping strategies. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress-related difficulties.

Mindfulness Therapy is another element Amanda draws on, teaching simple awareness and grounding techniques to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can benefit sleep, stress and day-to-day well-being.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Amanda works collaboratively with each person to select or combine methods that suit their needs, goals and preferences. She aims to tailor sessions so the chosen techniques fit the client rather than the other way around.

Online therapy with Amanda is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from licensed professionals and therapists without needing to travel.
