About Mandy
Mandy Clarkson is a counsellor who helps people work through stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship worries and trauma. She also supports people facing grief, self-esteem struggles, eating or sleeping concerns, ADHD and the many life changes that can feel overwhelming. Mandy is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration with six years of experience in counselling practice.
Mandy uses a calm, down-to-earth manner in sessions. She listens without rushing and aims to make talking about hard things feel safer.
Background and approach
Her approach is collaborative - she works with each person to set manageable goals and try practical steps that suit their life. Over time Mandy moved from a primarily person-centred way of working to an integrative style. That means she draws on different methods to match what someone needs.
Techniques can include exploring patterns from the past, learning new ways to handle difficult thoughts, and practising present-moment awareness. In sessions she focuses on understanding the problem, noticing unhelpful patterns and testing small changes. Conversations can include reflecting on feelings, setting short tasks between sessions, and trying coping strategies together.
The aim is to increase self-awareness and day-to-day wellbeing. Mandy also brings personal life experience to her work and says that those lived experiences inform her empathy. She has worked with a wide range of people at different stages of life and offers support in English.
If someone wants to begin, they are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions that fit their schedule.

How Mandy’s approaches work online
Mandy draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas in her online practice. Client-centred therapy emphasises being heard and accepted; the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them make sense of their feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses simple practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mandy will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then adapt methods as needed. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus more on exploring past patterns, trying CBT-style tasks, or using other tools to meet specific problems.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quieter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or when typing is easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
