About Mandy

Mandy Hedges is a counsellor with 15 years of experience. She offers a warm, professional space where people can talk through difficult feelings and problems. Mandy describes her approach as holistic, so she looks at emotional, physical and spiritual factors together. She aims to help people feel better in the here and now.

In sessions Mandy listens without judgement and helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot and change thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.

People come to Mandy for a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. She also supports those facing addictions, eating and body image issues, and problems with self-esteem and intimacy.

Her additional focus areas include chronic pain, illness and disability, attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems and the impact of divorce or separation. She has experience working with gender dysphoria, LGBT concerns, and compassion fatigue among other difficulties.

Mandy is registered with BACP and NCPS and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are held in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Mandy adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Mandy uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in ways that translate well to remote sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, helping them feel heard and understood while they talk through issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mandy will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. She checks in regularly to see what is helping and adapts the work as things change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, such as taking a session during a lunch break or when travel would be difficult. If you are interested in remote work, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online sessions that allow the same kinds of conversation and practical exercises used in face-to-face work, while making it simpler to keep appointments around daily commitments.
