Amanda Cooper helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy difficulties. She supports those coping with low self-esteem, addiction, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, career uncertainty and depression. Amanda also offers coaching for life changes and addresses specialist areas such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, and LGBT concerns.

She works in a pragmatic, down-to-earth way. Sessions aim to uncover what lies beneath behaviours like substance use or repeated relationship conflict.

Background and approach

Amanda looks for the origins of a problem rather than only treating surface symptoms. She encourages open conversation without judgement and lets people steer the topics they want to discuss. Amanda has worked full time in psychotherapy for over 13 years.

For a decade she led short-term residential wellbeing facilities in Warwickshire, providing therapy, supervising teams and developing psychological programmes. That work gave her experience with complex presentations and with designing interventions across whole programmes.

Her formal studies include an MSc with Merit in Organisational Psychology from Birkbeck, University of London, a BSc (Hons) First Class in Psychology from Arden University, and a Diploma in Psychotherapy with Merit from the Human Givens Institute.

She holds a Graduate Certificate in Philosophy, Ethics, Justice and Memory from Harvard University and is a Registered Qualified Test User with the British Psychological Society. Amanda is an accredited member of the National Counselling Society and lists NCPS as a credential. She adapts her approach to each person, aiming for noticeable progress early on and working collaboratively toward practical change.

Approaches that help when life feels stuck

Amanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, trauma and patterns that keep people stuck. One approach focuses on trauma recovery and memory work to reduce the hold of distressing memories and phobias, helping people feel less driven by past events. Another approach uses narrative and metaphor to reframe negative thinking and unhelpful stories people tell about themselves, which can help with self-esteem, relationships and career decisions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then recommend a way forward. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls suit longer sessions and face-to-face style conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in with shorter notes, fit therapy into a busy day or continue progress between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care with a single therapist.
