About Amanda
Amanda Parry is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She describes herself as an integrative therapist who draws on several approaches to help people faced with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and life changes. Her work also covers concerns such as self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue and ADHD, and she lists life purpose among her focus areas.
Amanda says her own experience of being a client informs how she works. She uses talking, dreamwork and imagery to help people look at their experiences from different angles. She attends regular therapy and supervision as part of her ongoing professional development.
In sessions she aims to make space for difficult feelings like grief, shame or emptiness so they can be explored without judgement. People often bring practical worries about divorce, commitment, intimacy or family of origin issues, and she helps them talk these through step by step. Amanda also works with themes such as abandonment, attachment and dissociation when they come up.
Her approach combines client-centred listening with psychodynamic and Jungian ideas about how past patterns shape present life. Trauma-focused methods are used when people need support after abuse or overwhelming events. She frames work in everyday language and focuses on what people notice in their lives.
Amanda asks people to consider what they want from therapy and to bring what matters most to their first sessions. She uses a range of techniques rather than a single method, and she helps people reflect on life purpose, midlife questions, body image, sexuality and the strain that caregiving or cancer can bring.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Amanda draws on client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting what people bring. This approach helps when someone feels stuck or unsure and wants a space to talk things through without pressure.She also uses psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to look at recurring patterns and personal symbols. These approaches help people understand how past experiences and inner imagery affect current choices and relationships. They can be useful for work on attachment, abandonment, midlife questions and themes of meaning and life purpose.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss different ways of working and decide together with the client what fits best for their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can start in the first few sessions and change as priorities shift.
