About Mandy
Mandy Hedges offers a warm, client-centred approach that helps people make sense of overwhelming feelings. She draws on 15 years of counselling experience to listen, reflect, and help clients find practical steps forward. In sessions Mandy focuses on immediate concerns like stress, anxiety and phobias alongside longer standing issues such as trauma, grief and addictions.
She pays attention to how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going, and works to break unhelpful cycles.
Background and approach
Her way of working mixes client-centred listening with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused ideas. That means clients are heard first, then they test small changes and new ways of thinking to ease distress. Sessions are practical and paced to suit the person.
Mandy also draws on Jungian ideas to help people understand deeper patterns and life themes when that feels relevant. This can help with identity questions, body image, attachment concerns and relationship difficulties. She supports people facing a wide range of issues including depression, self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges, eating and intimacy-related concerns.
Additional focus areas include chronic illness and pain, communication problems, domestic violence, addiction and grief. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To start, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to availability.
Approaches you can use online
Mandy blends client-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to create practical online therapy that still feels personal. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's feelings without judgement, helping people feel heard and clearer about what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers straightforward exercises to reduce anxiety, tackle phobias and improve mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Mandy will talk through goals, try different techniques and adjust the plan so it fits the client's needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps identify whether more solution-focused tasks, deeper Jungian reflection or CBT exercises are most useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video allows face-to-face conversation for practice exercises and emotional work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, reflection between sessions or when written communication feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility and continuity while working on stress, anxiety, phobias and other concerns.
