About Amanda
Counsellor Amanda Crane is registered with NCPS and has around five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting, addictions, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career and depression among her areas of focus.
Amanda practises in a client-centred way and uses solution-focused ideas. That means sessions aim to listen to what matters to the person and to find practical next steps. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to help with patterns of thinking and daily coping.
Her background includes work supporting parents and people facing life changes. Amanda says she has experience with grief and trauma and with issues that affect identity and relationships. She also lists work around ADHD, addictions, and long-term health or caring responsibilities.
In a typical session she will encourage the client to set the pace and highlight small, achievable goals. Sessions can involve talking through recent events, noticing thought and behaviour patterns, and practising simple grounding or mindfulness exercises. Motivational interviewing is used where people want help finding the drive to change.
Sessions are offered in English. International clients are not currently accepted. Prospective clients are asked to use the site button to view online counselling options and complete the short matching questionnaire before booking a first session.
How Amanda uses practical approaches for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective. The counsellor listens without directing, and helps the person name what matters most. This approach suits people who want to be heard and to set their own goals.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. It uses straightforward exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and to try new behaviours. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve coping. These practices can help with stress, rumination and moments of strong emotion.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. Amanda will discuss what feels useful and will adjust methods to match the person's goals and daily life. She aims to agree small, practical steps so progress can be checked week to week.
The site biography does not list explicit session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video, depending on what the counsellor and client agree.
