Background and approach

Mandy combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and other approaches. This means conversations centre on the person's experience while also looking at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. She uses practical exercises and reflective listening to support change.

Her work covers relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem and body image, eating and addiction issues, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing chronic illness, bereavement, guilt and shame, and compassion fatigue. Mandy holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS.

She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect people to a suitable appointment.

How Mandy’s approaches work online

Mandy blends Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in ways that suit remote sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience, which helps people feel heard and valued. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple exercises to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Mandy discusses goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, then adapts techniques to fit each person's needs. She will suggest practical steps and review progress together so the plan can be tweaked as therapy continues.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make therapy easier to fit around work and family life. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for short check-ins, and messaging suits people who prefer writing between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and accessible while keeping the focus on useful, practical work.
