Amanda Brady , BACP

Amanda Brady is a therapeutic counsellor registered in the United Kingdom with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy which denotes professional registration and adherence to recognised standards. With five years of experience, she works with people facing a wide range of concerns and supports them in finding practical, compassionate ways to move forward.

Amanda has worked with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, career pressures and low self-esteem. She also has experience supporting clients with obsessive compulsive tendencies, autism spectrum conditions and ADHD, and she helps people who have experienced trauma or emotional abuse. Her approach recognises both present struggles and the strengths a person brings to recovery.

Amanda believes reaching out for help is an important first step and that many people already possess resources they can build on. She aims to create a collaborative, respectful space where clients can explore their feelings, develop coping strategies and work toward clearer goals at a pace that suits them.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Amanda works from several evidence-informed approaches that can be adapted to online work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current emotional needs - it can be helpful for intimacy, abandonment and attachment difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the process, emphasising empathy, active listening and the client’s own capacity for growth - this approach supports issues like low self-esteem and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression and compulsive patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work itself. Amanda collaborates with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences and the challenges they bring, adjusting the focus over time as needs change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier for people to access licensed professionals and therapists from a distance while maintaining continuity of care and adapting to everyday life.
