About Hana
Hana Mandikova is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and trauma-related difficulties. She also helps with depression, relationship problems, addiction concerns and issues around self-esteem and body image. Hana uses a calm, non-judgemental manner to help people talk through what is getting in the way of daily life.
Hana holds BACP accreditation, and she draws on both client-centred and trauma-focused ways of working.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what a person is experiencing now while also looking at how past events and family patterns shape current feelings. This helps clients make sense of repeated patterns and to find new choices. Her style is warm and accepting.
Hana aims to create space where people feel heard and are able to explore difficult memories at a manageable pace. She pays attention to how attachment and abandonment issues can affect relationships and self-worth. Practical concerns such as coping strategies, mindfulness skills and clearer boundaries are part of the conversations, along with deeper exploration when people are ready.
Hana can support work around grief, career stress, compassion fatigue and navigating major life changes. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can choose what fits their day. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes, and the pace is set by each person.
How Hana uses online therapy and practical approaches
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room. The therapist follows what matters most to the client and offers empathic listening to help people feel understood and able to consider change. This approach can be useful for anxiety, relationship worries and low self-esteem.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices and grounding techniques to reduce reactivity. It helps people notice unhelpful patterns in day-to-day life and build clearer ways of responding to stress and difficult thoughts.
Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process past events that still affect their mood and relationships today. It aims to reduce the power of those memories so they interrupt life less often and make space for new ways of relating to oneself and others.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Hana works collaboratively to find what fits each person’s needs, goals and preferences. She will check in about how a method feels and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face from different places, phone sessions can be easier when a quieter environment is needed, and messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and daily routines.
