About Mandy
Mandy Clarkson is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and parenting challenges. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what feels hard. Mandy speaks plainly and meets people where they are, helping them take small, practical steps forward.
She trained in person-centred therapy and now uses an integrative approach. That means she draws on several methods to suit each person. Sessions often focus on understanding feelings, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Mandy has six years of experience working in different settings. Her work has included supporting people with depression, trauma and abuse, grief and relationship problems. She also helps with eating and sleeping difficulties, self-esteem, anger, and life changes.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works with people across the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by a mix of calls and messaging to fit different needs. Mandy describes herself as warm and down to earth and draws on her own life experience to understand strain and loss.
Her focus is on helping people build practical coping skills and clearer thinking. If someone wants steady, straightforward support for anxiety or other concerns, she offers a compassionate, structured way forward.
Approach and online support that fits your life
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in the room, offering acceptance and active listening to help people make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-worth and when someone needs a steady, empathic space to talk.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and practising different behaviours, which can help with anxiety, sleep issues and mood changes.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice the present moment without judgement. Short practical exercises can reduce rumination and make stress easier to manage on a day-to-day basis.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for full conversations, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works well for short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options give flexibility so people can fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments.
