Amanda Burridge, BACP

Amanda Burridge is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem struggles, relationship strain, sleep problems, parenting pressures and anger. Her profile also lists career changes and coping with life transitions as common concerns.

Amanda prefers a straightforward, person-to-person way of working. Sessions focus on listening, talking through what is happening, and noticing what patterns keep returning. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow the client’s pace and perspective, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress.

In bereavement and serious illness issues she draws on practical conversation and steady presence. She mentions working with people facing cancer, hospice and end-of-life matters, and caregiver stress, helping them make sense of emotions and practical pressures. She also supports people navigating pregnancy, postpartum depression and midlife questions.

Amanda often brings gentle curiosity and sometimes light humour into sessions. She aims to help people recognise their capacity to change, and to find ways to manage anger, resentment or irritability that affect relationships and daily life. Her approach is human and down-to-earth rather than formal or clinical.

People who choose her can expect a focus on clear, usable steps alongside open listening. She combines the person-centred way of being with CBT strategies to produce concrete tools for coping, mood, sleep and communication challenges.
