About Wanda
Wanda Hagan is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, sleep problems and depression. Wanda also supports those concerned by guilt and shame alongside other related struggles.
Wanda aims to make sessions straightforward and direct. She encourages people to talk through what feels heavy and to notice patterns that keep them stuck. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on practical ways to manage distress between appointments.
Her background includes long experience across common emotional concerns and life disruptions. She has helped people with adoption and foster care issues, attachment matters, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, chronic pain and long-term illness, and communication problems. She has also worked with people recovering from natural or human-caused disasters, first responder issues, divorce and separation, infidelity, jealousy, obsessions and compulsions, panic attacks and phobias.
In sessions Wanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand feelings and try different responses. She describes the process as collaborative - talking together about what helps and adapting approaches to suit the person. Practical strategies and small experiments between sessions are often part of the work.
People can expect sessions conducted in English and an approach that aims to be clear and practical. For international clients, she accepts work from people outside the UK. To start, clients follow the site's booking steps to match and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Wanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a practical way. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing it against reality to reduce anxious or guilty thinking. This helps when rumination, worry or self-blame are getting in the way of daily life.Another approach emphasises learning and practising different responses to feelings. That might include experiments between sessions to see what changes a small behaviour or a different reaction can bring. These techniques are often useful for sleep problems, panic, obsessions and phobias as well as relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wanda will discuss options with each person and choose methods together based on needs, goals and preferences. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted over time.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time.
