About Mandy
Mandy Clarkson specialises in helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with life changes, and work on parenting and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, anger, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges linked to ADHD. Mandy uses a calm, welcoming manner to make it easier to begin difficult conversations.
Mandy holds BACP and has six years of practice experience. She trained primarily in Person-Centred therapy, often called client-centred work, and now blends approaches to meet each person's needs.
Background and approach
This means sessions focus on what matters to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Her style tends to be relaxed and steady. Mandy draws on practical tools from cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused techniques when they suit the issue.
She also uses psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns that repeat over time and mindfulness ideas to help with emotional regulation. Mandy speaks from professional experience and personal understanding. She describes herself as someone who has faced both victories and losses, which informs her empathy in sessions.
Her work aims to increase self-awareness and practical coping skills rather than only talking about problems. People meet Mandy to tackle specific problems and to build day-to-day strategies. The process is collaborative: she listens first, then helps set goals and tries methods that fit the individual.
If you are ready to make a change, she aims to support and empower each step.

How Mandy works online
Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. Mandy will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The choice of techniques evolves from what the person finds useful and manageable.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to use worksheets, track mood between sessions, and practise mindfulness in everyday moments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to suit remote sessions while keeping the focus on practical progress and collaboration.
