About Mandy

Mandy Hedges works with people on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, and issues around relationships and intimacy. She uses a client-centred way of working and draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and other approaches to help people change unhelpful patterns. Mandy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and holds NCPS; she has 15 years of experience.

Mandy offers practical conversation and short exercises in sessions. She helps people notice thoughts and behaviours that make things harder, and then tries out alternatives. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change or understand.

She also gives attention to body image, eating issues, and problems connected to chronic pain, illness and disability. Other themes she works with include attachment and abandonment, communication and control issues, and the emotional effects of domestic violence and separation.

Mandy uses elements of Jungian thinking to look at patterns and personal meaning, alongside solution-focused steps to set manageable goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas are used when helpful to identify thoughts and try different coping strategies.

Clients can expect a steady, practical approach that looks at both feelings and everyday actions. Mandy supports people dealing with guilt, shame, compassion fatigue, and the stresses of caring or parental roles. She works in English and practises in the United Kingdom.

How Mandy uses established approaches in online counselling

Mandy commonly works with Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says, helping them to explore feelings and make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to try alternative ways of coping.

She may also draw on Jungian ideas to help people notice recurring patterns and symbols, and on Solution-Focused steps to set small, achievable goals. Deciding which approach to use is part of the early work together; the counsellor and client discuss what feels most helpful and adapt the method as needs and goals become clearer.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session formats before booking so you know what options are available. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins where useful. The process of finding the best approach remains collaborative, and Mandy will help match therapeutic tools to the issues you bring.
