About Mandy

Mandy Hedges is a counsellor with 15 years of practice helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and loss. She works in a calm, approachable way and aims to help each person feel heard and understood. Mandy lists BACP and NCPS among her credentials and practices in the United Kingdom.

Mandy uses straightforward talking therapies to help people make sense of difficult feelings. She invites clients to describe what is happening for them and then looks for practical steps they can try.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and testing new ways of coping. Your needs shape the work. Mandy blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural tools to spot thoughts that get in the way.

She also draws on Jungian ideas when helpful and uses solution-focused exercises to set short-term goals. This mix lets her respond to emotional pain, relationship strain, eating and body image concerns, grief, and issues linked to trauma or addiction. She pays attention to how life events, physical illness or caring responsibilities affect mood and day-to-day functioning.

Practical techniques may include simple thought records, behavioural experiments and guided reflection on values and meaning. Sessions aim to be realistic and doable between appointments. Mandy supports people dealing with identity and intimacy questions, LGBT related concerns, and the emotional fallout of separation, bereavement or major life change.

If someone wants clear steps alongside empathic listening, she helps them plan the next move and notice small shifts over time.

Approaches Online - Practical and Person-Focused

Mandy combines client-centred therapy with cognitive behavioural therapy to support people online. Client-centred therapy means listening without judgement and following the person's pace, which helps when someone needs to be understood before making changes. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes, useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mandy will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan with each person. This collaborative process lets the client try techniques, review what helps, and adapt the approach to their goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy easier to fit into everyday life. Video calls let people keep visual contact and use standard therapeutic exercises. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit those who prefer writing, want brief reflections during the day, or need flexible ways to share between sessions. These options aim to make consistent therapy more reachable for different schedules and needs.
