About Hana
Hana Mandikova supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and relationship strain. She also helps with depression, addiction, grief, career concerns and questions about identity and self‑esteem. Hana works with issues like body image, attachment and family‑of‑origin problems.
She welcomes conversations about life changes and finding purpose. Hana brings five years of professional experience and a longer history of counselling work in education, workplaces and voluntary settings. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
Her way of working centres on listening and helping people name what they are feeling work at a pace that suits them. Her approach combines client‑centred principles with trauma‑focused ideas and mindfulness practice. That means sessions often focus on the person in front of her, paying attention to present experience while also noticing how past events still affect day‑to‑day life.
Mindfulness techniques are used to build calmer responses to stress and anxiety. Hana aims to create an accepting space where people feel seen and understood. She helps people map patterns in their relationships, cope with emotional pain and make clearer choices about next steps.
Conversations are plain and practical rather than full of jargon. If you want support untangling past trauma, improving self‑esteem or navigating a difficult life shift Hana offers steady, patient counselling. The focus is on working together to find what helps you feel more able in your daily life.

How Hana works online
She also draws on trauma‑focused therapy to help people understand how past painful events continue to affect thoughts, feelings and relationships. This approach is aimed at slowly making sense of difficult memories and reducing their hold on daily life.
Mindfulness techniques are used to build skills for noticing the body and breath, calming stress responses and managing anxiety in the moment. These practices are simple to learn and can be tried between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. Clients are invited to take things at their own pace as part of that choice.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when that suits a schedule. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their methods to remote sessions, helping maintain continuity of care when meeting in person is difficult.
