About Wanda
Wanda Hagan is a counsellor with BACP accreditation and 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety and sleeping problems.

She aims to make sessions straightforward and approachable. Wanda creates space for someone to talk through thoughts and feelings without judgement. She encourages small, practical steps that feel doable between appointments.
Background and approach
Her work often covers ongoing worries such as panic attacks, phobias and obsessive thoughts. She also supports people dealing with attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, and the practical strain of chronic illness and pain. Communication problems and relationship difficulties are other common themes in her practice.
Wanda has experience assisting those affected by disaster, first responder stress, divorce and separation, and the emotional aftermath of infidelity, guilt or shame. She can also help with body image concerns and the ways autism or Asperger syndrome can affect daily life. Sessions are offered in English and can happen online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Wanda works with each person to set realistic goals and to choose ways of working that fit their life and needs.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Wanda draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach she uses involves short structured conversations that identify patterns of worry and teach ways to respond differently; this can help with panic, phobias and persistent anxiety. Another helpful method concentrates on building healthy routines around sleep and daily coping; it aims to ease insomnia and reduce stress by changing small habits.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Wanda will work with each person to review what feels most helpful and to adapt methods to their goals and preferences. The plan can change over time as progress is reviewed and new priorities appear.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Text or live chat can suit people who prefer to write or want quick check-ins. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, family and other commitments.
