About Amanda

Amanda Brady is a therapeutic counsellor who works from a human-centred perspective. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Amanda focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and sleep better when rest is disrupted by worry or stress.

Amanda draws on approaches that help people understand patterns that repeat in relationships. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early experiences shape current ways of relating. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help alter unhelpful thoughts and bedtime routines that interfere with rest.

She has five years of practice supporting people with anxiety, depression and relationship strain. Amanda also helps those coping with trauma, emotional abuse and addiction-related concerns. She works with people experiencing parenting stress, career pressures and issues around identity and intimacy.

Sessions are practical and conversational. Amanda aims to help people notice small shifts that make a difference, such as adjusting thinking habits or trying new ways to manage nightly worry. She encourages clients to build on strengths they already have and to try simple, doable changes.

Clients often explore sleep, self-esteem and emotional regulation. Amanda invites people to bring the issues that matter most to them and to set clear, achievable goals. The first step is reaching out and completing the short matching questionnaire to arrange a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Amanda often blends attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people who struggle with anxiety, low mood and sleep disruption. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current needs and patterns, and it can help people change repeated ways of relating that affect rest and closeness. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and replacing them with more helpful ones, which can make a real difference to worry at night and to sleep routines.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Amanda works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that suit their goals and preferences. She will discuss options, try different ideas, and adapt the work as progress and needs change.

The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping therapy part of everyday life. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote conversations easier to attend around childcare, work and travel, and some sessions can be shorter check-ins when that better fits a day. Registered or accredited professionals aim to make sessions accessible and realistic for daily life without promising particular formats or outcomes.
