About Amanda Cooper

Amanda Cooper is a United Kingdom based psychotherapist with 13 years of clinical experience helping people navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, ADHD and major life transitions. She has spent a decade leading three short-term residential wellbeing facilities in Warwickshire, providing direct therapy while supervising teams of clinicians and designing psychological programmes. That residential work shaped a practice that looks beneath presenting behaviours - such as problematic alcohol use or chronic conflict - to identify underlying trauma or environmental factors that maintain distress.

Amanda combines trauma recovery processes with techniques that draw on memory, metaphor and narrative to shift negative thinking and address phobias. She also supports personal development, career change and coping with life events, offering a proactive therapeutic style that aims for early, noticeable progress. Amanda has completed extensive graduate and post-graduate study and holds NCPS accreditation, indicating recognised professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy. Her approach is adaptable and non-judgemental; she is approachable and invested in helping clients understand their needs and improve their experience of the world.

To make the most of time together, Amanda often exchanges a few messages with clients before the first session and is comfortable working by video, phone or messaging when that better suits a client’s needs. She looks forward to supporting people through change and recovery.

Trauma-informed and Narrative Techniques for Online Care

Amanda uses trauma-focused approaches that prioritise understanding how past experiences shape present reactions. This work involves gently identifying triggers and patterns and helping clients develop practical strategies to reduce distress and rebuild a sense of safety and agency.

She also draws on narrative and metaphor-based techniques, using stories and imagery to reframe negative self-beliefs and open new ways of understanding memories and emotions. These methods can be especially useful for anxiety, phobias, relationship difficulties and stuck patterns where language alone does not fully capture experience.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amanda works collaboratively with clients and with other registered professionals where appropriate to tailor interventions to each person’s needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts pace and focus as progress is made.

Online therapy with Amanda is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, life transitions or when in-person appointments are not possible, while keeping the focus on effective, evidence-informed work.
