Amanda Turner, BACP

Amanda Turner is a person-centred counsellor who offers a warm, non-judgmental approach and a straightforward, honest manner. She encourages clients to lead the work, believing that each person is the expert on their own life and that therapeutic progress is best made when the client sets the focus and pace.

Her role is to accompany and support people emotionally as they explore their life story, helping them to clarify what they think and how they feel. She facilitates reflection and conversation in a way that allows issues to be expressed and examined within a supportive, facilitative context. This process has been effective for a wide range of problems and concerns.

Many people who seek Amanda’s support come with some form of loss or difficulty, including low mood, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, life transitions, addictions, questions about sexuality, and anger issues. She brings an open-minded, approachable, friendly, and caring presence to sessions, making space for clients to express what they really feel without fear of gossip or upsetting others.

Amanda is a BACP member - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which identifies her as part of a recognised professional body in the United Kingdom. Having experienced some of life’s traumas herself, she understands why people may hesitate to share difficult emotions and aims to provide an environment where clients can release and work through those feelings at their own pace.
