About Mandy
Mandy Hedges provides a warm, person-focused way of working that helps people talk through anxiety, stress and difficult life changes. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can describe what feels hard and start to try small changes. Mandy has 15 years of experience as a counsellor and holds BACP and NCPS credentials.
Her practice draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to notice unhelpful thinking and test new ways of coping. She also brings in elements of Jungian thought and solution-focused techniques when these fit a person’s needs. Conversations tend to focus on simple, practical steps alongside understanding deeper patterns.
Mandy helps people facing a wide range of concerns, including panic and anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and body-image struggles, and coping with illness or life transitions. She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment wounds, guilt, shame and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are designed to be collaborative and paced to suit the individual. Mandy listens first, then works with each person to set small goals and ways to practise changes between meetings. She explains methods plainly and checks in about what is helpful.
Her approach is straightforward and focused on helping people feel steadier in everyday life. People can expect clear, empathetic conversation and practical ideas they can try between sessions.
How Mandy’s approaches can work in online counselling
Mandy uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to guide online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s pace, which helps people feel heard and understood even when meeting remotely. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety and panic. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mandy will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will suggest ways of working that fit those needs. This is a collaborative decision and can be reviewed as work progresses. Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around daily life and avoiding travel time, which can make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or different pacing for people who prefer gradual steps. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, since the profile does not list exact options. Overall online sessions aim to make it simpler to try therapeutic techniques and to practise new coping skills in the context of everyday routines.Areas of expertise
