About Mandy
Mandy Hedges is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and issues around guilt and shame.
Mandy offers a straightforward way of talking things through. Sessions look at thoughts, feelings and day-to-day habits. She pays attention to physical and spiritual sides of life as they affect emotions. She uses clear techniques to spot unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping.
Her work draws on client-centred ideas to keep the person's experience central. Cognitive behavioural tools are used to track and change thinking and behaviour that feed anxiety, low mood or problem habits. Jungian perspectives may be brought in to explore deeper life themes and personal meaning.
People also bring practical problems such as communication breakdowns, family strain, body image, addiction, chronic illness and issues tied to gender or identity. Mandy helps people look at attachment and abandonment concerns and how these show up now. She also supports those dealing with forgiveness, fatherhood issues and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are offered in English and based in the UK. The therapist explains how therapy works and what to expect before the first appointment. To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
Working online with client-centred and CBT approaches
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully to the person's experience and following what matters most to them. It helps when someone needs space to speak about guilt, shame, relationship worries or life changes without being steered off-topic. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical tools to test unhelpful thinking and build different responses to anxiety, low mood or addictive behaviours.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow a person to choose quieter surroundings, use audio-only if preferred, or avoid being on camera on some days. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements and help match session timing to everyday life.
