Amanda Brady , BACP

Amanda Brady is a therapeutic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works in the United Kingdom and offers help for stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Amanda also supports issues around self-esteem, addiction and trauma. Her approach is straightforward and practical for people seeking change.

Amanda uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. She also uses client-centred listening to create space for people to feel heard.

Her background includes five years working directly with people facing a range of difficulties. That experience covers grief, intimacy struggles, eating and sleeping problems, and neurodiversity issues such as autism and ADHD. She has also supported those dealing with domestic violence, family-of-origin wounds and addiction challenges.

In sessions Amanda focuses on building on strengths and practical steps that can be used between meetings. Conversations are kept clear and down-to-earth so goals become manageable. She encourages clients to set small, realistic changes and checks progress together.

People come to Amanda for short-term help and longer-term reflection. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Amanda's approaches work with online therapy

Amanda commonly uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when people notice repeated difficulties in intimacy, trust or commitment and want to try different ways of relating.

She also applies cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. That can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping with stressful situations.

Finding the right approach is something to decide together. Amanda will talk through goals and preferences and adapt her methods as the work progresses. Collaboration helps ensure sessions meet the person's needs rather than following a fixed plan.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for this type of work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps, while phone sessions can be shorter or easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief check-ins, or need flexibility around work and family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to keep therapy adaptable and easier to fit into busy lives.
