About Mandy

Mandy Hedges is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has 15 years of practice in the United Kingdom and works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. Mandy also supports clients dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem concerns, and life changes that leave them unsure what comes next.

Her approach blends client-centred ways of working with cognitive behavioural techniques. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person in front of her, while also using practical steps to notice patterns and try different behaviours. She also draws on Jungian ideas and solution-focused strategies when they suit the work.

In sessions Mandy helps people talk through difficult feelings and identify unhelpful thoughts. She uses exercises and short strategies to test new ways of coping, alongside deeper talking work about past experiences and attachments. This mix aims to support clearer thinking and steadier day-to-day routines.

Her additional focus areas include body image, chronic illness and pain, addiction, family problems and gender dysphoria. Mandy also addresses issues linked to abandonment, communication breakdown, control, guilt and shame. She works with clients who are navigating major life changes and the practical strains those bring.

To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Mandy’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people clarify values, priorities and what feels important after a life change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test new behaviours and reduce unhelpful thinking patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Mandy discusses goals and preferences with each person and decides together which mix of client-centred listening and CBT strategies will be most useful. This collaborative plan can be adjusted as sessions progress to match changing needs.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy around work, family commitments or medical appointments. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel, or use tools and worksheets together during the session. Registered or accredited professionals like Mandy aim to make sessions practical and to help turn ideas from conversation into everyday steps.
