About Mandy
Mandy Elliott is a therapeutic counsellor and a fully registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and guilt and shame.
Mandy bases sessions on an integrative approach that draws mainly on Client-Centred Therapy alongside ideas from Transactional Analysis and Gestalt. She views clients as experts in their own stories and focuses on helping people use their existing strengths to manage what feels overwhelming.
She has several years’ experience supporting younger adults in higher education aged 16 to 22, as well as other adult clients. Typical areas she addresses include stress, self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief, parenting pressures, sleep difficulties and chronic pain or illness.
Mandy’s practice is informed by her personal practice of Buddhism and by years of training in meditation and mindfulness. These elements are offered where they suit a person’s needs, for example to develop self-awareness or calm the nervous system.
In sessions she aims to offer a non-judgemental place to talk through difficult feelings and to build clarity about next steps. Practical topics such as communication problems, financial stress, midlife questions and issues around sexuality and forgiveness are also part of her work.
To begin, Mandy asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. She works with English-speaking clients and accepts international clients.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
The central approach Mandy uses is Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening carefully and reflecting what someone says so they can make sense of their own thoughts and feelings. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and questions about self-worth.She also draws on ideas from Transactional Analysis and Gestalt to help people notice patterns in communication and in how they relate to themselves and others. These ideas can support work on attachment issues, communication problems, or recurring relationship patterns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Mandy will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together they decide what methods to try and for how long. That collaborative planning can change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats she currently offers before booking. Many people choose online therapy because it can fit more easily around work, study and caring responsibilities. Online sessions can make shorter check-ins simpler, avoid travel time, and allow someone to access a counsellor from another location. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, can help adapt these approaches to an online setting so the work remains practical and focused.
