About Amanda
Amanda Cooper is a counsellor with thirteen years of clinical experience. She welcomes people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, phobias, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, or low self-esteem. She also supports clients facing career changes, sleep problems, trauma and abuse, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue.
Amanda works in a practical, down-to-earth way. She aims to help people get to the root cause of what is driving behaviour. That might mean looking beneath addictive behaviours or repeated relationship patterns to find the source of fear or stuckness.
Background and approach
Sessions are offered by video call, phone or messaging to fit different needs. Her background includes leading short-term residential wellbeing programmes in Warwickshire for about a decade. In that role she has provided therapy, supervised therapy teams and helped develop psychological programmes.
This work has involved supporting people with complex presentations and linking present difficulties to past trauma or environmental factors. Amanda completed postgraduate study in organisational psychology and holds a Diploma in Psychotherapy from the Human Givens Institute. She is also listed with the National Counselling Society under the NCPS credential.
Her training has included work on memory, metaphor and narrative techniques, and she describes offering trauma recovery processes and help for phobias. In therapy she aims for noticeable progress early on and adapts her approach to each person.
She is straightforward and non-judgemental, and often exchanges a few messages before the first session so the live time can be focused on what matters most.
Practical therapeutic approaches you can use online
Amanda draws on evidence-based techniques that help people face fear, reduce anxiety and shift stuck patterns. One approach she uses focuses on addressing trauma and phobic responses by gently working through fear hierarchies and responses so people can regain confidence in situations that once felt overwhelming. Another strand of her work uses narrative and memory-based techniques to reframe troubling memories and reduce the power those stories hold over mood and behaviour. These methods help with anxiety, panic, phobias and relationship difficulties.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences and day-to-day needs, then suggest methods that fit. Together they check what feels helpful and adjust the plan as therapy progresses so the approach stays aligned with what the client wants to achieve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth work and clearer communication, phone can be quicker and easier on low bandwidth, and messaging lets people send thoughts between sessions or have shorter check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
