About Amanda

Amanda Crane is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who practises from a person-centred perspective. She holds NCPS as a credential and brings five years of professional experience to her practice. Amanda offers a calm and non-judgemental space for people to talk through current struggles and find practical ways forward.

Her approach emphasises listening first and then working with each person’s priorities. She uses client-centred methods alongside solution-focused ideas to help people identify small, achievable steps. Cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness are also part of her toolkit where they match a person’s goals.

Amanda has worked with a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges around self-esteem and sleep. She also supports people facing career change, parenting pressures, ADHD, and coping with life transitions.

Additional areas Amanda has experience with include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, dissociation, and divorce and separation. She draws on a mixture of brief focused work and deeper psychodynamic thinking when helpful. The emphasis is on practical change and understanding patterns that keep problems going.

People who want a straightforward, compassionate counsellor may find Amanda a good fit. She aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs and to work collaboratively on clear goals. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule sessions.

How Amanda's approaches translate to online counselling

Amanda uses client-centred work that focuses on listening, understanding each person’s experience, and helping them set their own goals. Client-centred work helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and be heard without judgement.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try practical changes. CBT-style techniques can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. Amanda will discuss goals and preferences with each person and suggest which approaches could fit best. Together they agree on the pace and focus of sessions so the work feels relevant and doable.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking. Confirm whether sessions are video, phone or another supported format and choose what fits your day. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals commonly adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and CBT worksheets for remote sessions so the work can continue between meetings.
