About Mandy
Mandy Hedges works from a client-centred approach that places the person's experience at the heart of each session. She combines that focus with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and other practical methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping.
Mandy's style aims to be warm and straightforward so people can speak plainly about stress, anxiety, grief or relationship and intimacy concerns. She has 15 years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom and uses her time with clients to listen and reflect.
Background and approach
Sessions often involve talking through current problems, identifying thoughts that keep difficulties going, and trying small changes that make daily life easier. Clients may learn tools for coping with depression, addiction-related issues, compulsive eating concerns and low self-esteem. Mandy also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, chronic illness or pain, and compassion fatigue.
She can help with boundaries, communication problems, abandonment and attachment concerns, and navigating separation or divorce. Work may include steps to manage bipolar mood swings alongside general coping strategies. Her approach draws on Jungian ideas and solution-focused techniques when they fit a person's goals.
That means alongside looking at thoughts and behaviours, sessions can explore personal meaning and practical next steps. Mandy is registered with BACP and NCPS and works in English. To begin, people follow the site's Start Therapy process and complete a short questionnaire to match with her.
Scheduling is then arranged according to the therapist's availability and the subscription-based payment model.

How Mandy works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. In practice this means identifying negative thinking patterns and trying out small behaviour changes and coping strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood and address compulsive behaviours.
The therapist will work collaboratively to find the best fit for each person. That means talking about goals and trying different ways of working until an approach feels helpful. Clients can expect to review progress and adjust methods together over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful because they can fit a counselling session around work, reduce travel time, and choose a quieter part of their day for a check-in. Others prefer in-person meetings for different reasons, and Mandy will help weigh those practical factors when arranging how to meet.
