About Mandy
Mandy Hedges offers a warm, client-centred approach to counselling. She creates a calm space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, grief, addiction and other difficulties. Mandy aims to help people feel better understood and to find practical steps forward.
She draws on Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Jungian ideas. That means conversations focus on the person in front of her, while also looking at thinking patterns and deeper personal themes. Sessions may include noticing thought habits, trying small behaviour changes, and reflecting on personal meaning.
Across 15 years of practice Mandy has supported people with depression, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and body image concerns, and longstanding attachment or abandonment worries. She also works with those coping with chronic illness or pain, grief, compassion fatigue and gender identity matters. Mandy lists BACP and NCPS among her credentials.
Her way of working is direct and down-to-earth. Mandy aims to listen without judgement and to help people try manageable changes between sessions. She balances short-term problem solving with space to understand how past experiences shape present reactions.
People who book can expect straightforward conversation, practical ideas to try, and time to reflect. To begin, readers should use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling
Mandy draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to guide her work online. Client-Centred Therapy means the conversation centres on the person and their experience, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and reflection. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard and to make sense of confusing feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online sessions using CBT ideas can help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small changes in daily routines, which can reduce anxiety or low mood over time.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Mandy treats this as a collaborative conversation and will help clients decide which ideas to try first. Goals, preferences and day-to-day demands all help shape the plan, and adjustments can be made as work progresses.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. It can also suit those who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower bandwidth connections. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods so sessions remain practical and focused on everyday improvements.
