About Mandy
Mandy Clarkson is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger and low self-esteem. She also helps with life changes, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, career worries, depression and ADHD. Mandy uses a calm, approachable manner to help people talk things through and find practical steps forward.
She trained in person-centred practice and is now working in a more integrative way.
Background and approach
That means she draws on different methods to suit each person’s situation. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and improve everyday coping rather than relying on rigid techniques. Mandy brings six years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is noted as BACP.
She often combines talking work with exercises from cognitive behavioural and mindfulness approaches to help manage difficult thoughts and strong feelings. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Parents will find a straightforward style focused on practical change and clearer communication.
Mandy offers space to look at family of origin issues, parenting strain, abandonment concerns and boundary setting. She will listen, reflect and suggest small experiments to try between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
International clients are not currently accepted. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step is used so people can book according to the therapist’s availability.

How Mandy’s approaches work online
Mandy commonly draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in her online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely, reflecting back what a person says and helping them find their own solutions; it suits people who need empathy and a non-judgemental space. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and parenting stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process and Mandy treats it as a collaboration. She will ask about goals, everyday routines and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work. Video calls let people use visual cues and more conversational work. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection or running short tasks between longer sessions. These options make it easier to arrange therapy around family life, work and other commitments.
