Amanda Brady , BACP

Amanda Brady is a therapeutic counsellor registered in the United Kingdom with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. She works with people experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, career pressures, low self-esteem, obsessive compulsive concerns, autism spectrum conditions, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. She also supports those who have experienced trauma or emotional abuse.

Amanda approaches therapy with the belief that reaching out for help is an important first step and that people already have strengths they can draw on to overcome challenges. Her work combines practical strategies with reflective conversation to help clients explore emotions, identify unhelpful patterns, and develop new coping skills. Amanda aims to create a steady, compassionate space where clients can clarify goals, build resilience, and take steps toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Amanda draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how past and present relationships shape patterns of connection and trust. This approach helps people understand attachment needs and work through difficulties in close relationships, including issues of abandonment and intimacy.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship. In this way clients are supported to find their own solutions and build self-understanding at their own pace, useful for challenges like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship strains.

Additionally Amanda integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT offers practical tools that can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Amanda works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She discusses options and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses so clients feel involved in decisions about their care.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to meet with licensed professionals from different locations and schedules. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while maintaining continuity of care and regular contact with a therapist.
