About Amanda

Amanda Crane is a counsellor and life coach who works from Shrewsbury in the United Kingdom. She uses a person-centred outlook and solution-focused thinking to help people untangle everyday problems. Amanda holds the NCPS credential, which she uses alongside practical coaching skills to support clients.

She has around five years of experience practising in this format and a longer background of related work that included parenting and family support. Amanda helps people with stress, anxiety, depression and grief, as well as relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people facing addiction, eating or sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem and career worries.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions aim to make space for someone to talk through what is happening now, identify small steps to try, and review what helps. Techniques from cognitive behavioural work and mindfulness are used when they fit a person’s needs, and motivational interviewing can be brought in to support change.

Amanda also pays attention to attachment, trauma and life transitions such as separation or bereavement. She offers guidance around parenting stresses and the practical strains that caregiving can bring. Work may include coaching-style conversations to set goals and track progress.

Sessions are conducted in English and Amanda does not take international clients. To start, people are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to her availability.

How Amanda's approaches work in online therapy

Amanda draws on client-centred work that places the person's experience at the heart of each session. This approach means sessions begin by listening and following what matters most to the client, helping them make sense of their situation and decide what to focus on next.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT when it fits a person's goals. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda will work collaboratively to agree which methods to try, adapting the balance of listening, practical exercises and coaching as the work progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Registered and accredited professionals commonly deliver therapy this way, and Amanda can help you decide whether it will suit your goals and routines.
