About Hana
Hana Mandikova offers support for common and complex concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain and substance use. She also helps people facing issues with self-esteem, body image, codependency and career uncertainty. Sessions are presented in plain language and focus on what is happening for you now.
Hana works from a client-centred stance that prioritises the person in the room. That means she listens without judgement and follows the pace you set. She also integrates psychodynamic ideas to help make sense of how past experiences, including family patterns, shape present behaviour and feelings.
Her practice pays particular attention to trauma and its ongoing effects. She helps people connect current symptoms to earlier events and supports gradual change rather than quick fixes. Mindfulness techniques are used to develop awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations in the moment.
Hana holds BACP accreditation, and she has five years of professional experience alongside many years of counselling work in educational, workplace and voluntary settings. This background informs a calm, steady style that aims to make people feel seen and heard.
She also offers couples work aimed at moving from disconnection towards renewed connection and growth. If you are unsure where to begin she will help you clarify goals and take small steps towards them.
How Hana’s approaches translate to online counselling
Hana uses client-centred practice to make conversations feel person-led and accepting. This approach focuses on listening closely and responding to what matters most to you, which can work well in an online setting where clear verbal contact is central.She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy ideas to help people understand how past events affect current reactions. That work emphasises careful pacing and grounding techniques, and online sessions can be used to practise these skills between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations, with short exercises that can be practised during or after sessions to support everyday coping.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Hana will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit your needs, goals and preferences. She will check in about how each way of working feels and adjust as you go.
Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. It also makes it simpler to continue therapy while managing work, family responsibilities or recovery tasks between sessions.
