Mandy Hedges, BACP, NCPS

Mandy Hedges offers a straightforward, person-focused counselling style that centres on thoughts and everyday habits. She draws on 15 years of experience to create a calm space where people can talk through what is worrying them. Mandy is listed with BACP and NCPS and works from the United Kingdom. Sessions are presented in a friendly, professional way and aim to help people feel steadier day to day.

Her approach mixes Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and elements of Jungian and Solution-Focused work. In practice this means listening first, then helping people notice thinking patterns that keep problems going. She suggests small, practical steps to try between sessions and checks what helps most.

Mandy commonly supports people with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also works with addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues around self-esteem and body image. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness and pain, communication difficulties, and gender dysphoria.

Sessions look at habits that affect moods and behaviour, and at ways to change those routines. Mandy uses straightforward tools such as thought records, gentle exploration of personal stories, and short goal-focused tasks. The aim is clearer thinking and more manageable everyday routines.

People interested in working together start by choosing the Start Therapy button and completing a brief matching questionnaire. Scheduling follows the therapist's availability and the service uses a cancellable subscription model.

How Mandy's approaches translate to online counselling

Mandy blends Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in ways that suit remote work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping a person feel heard, which helps build trust and clear goals even when you are not in the same room. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts and everyday habits, teaching simple techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses between sessions.

Finding the right approach is treated as a joint process. Mandy discusses your aims and preferences, then tries methods that fit your situation. She checks progress and adjusts the way she works so the sessions stay relevant and practical for you.

Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as current options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these practical benefits to help people maintain consistency and build new habits.
