About Mandy
Mandy Elliott is a therapeutic counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has eight years of practical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and other life challenges. Mandy writes plainly and listens closely to what each person brings to sessions.
Mandy uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person and their goals at the heart of therapy. She draws on elements of transactional analysis and Gestalt when they fit a person’s needs.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and meditation, informed by her Buddhist practice, are tools she often shares. She works with adults and younger adults, including people who were 16 to 22 while in higher education. Common concerns she helps with include relationship worries, parenting stress, grief and trauma.
Mandy also supports those facing chronic illness, sleep problems, anger or career and money pressures. In sessions she treats people as the experts in their own lives and aims to help them notice strengths. Conversations focus on understanding what matters to the person and on practical ways to manage difficult feelings.
Mandy aims to build confidence, self-worth and clearer coping strategies. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk things through. For many, learning simple mindfulness practices is part of day-to-day change.
Mandy’s approach is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.

Approaches Mandy lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Client-centred care and online support
Mandy’s main approach is client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to what each person wants to change. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflects what they hear and helps clients find their own answers. This approach is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, anxiety and life transitions.She also uses elements of transactional analysis to look at interaction patterns and Gestalt ideas to explore present-moment experience. Transactional analysis can help with communication problems and recurring relationship patterns. Gestalt-style work is useful when noticing physical sensations and emotions helps someone see a situation more clearly.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Mandy will work with a person to identify which methods feel most useful for their goals and preferences. Together they set the pace and try ways of working that can be adjusted over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls work well for deeper conversations where seeing one another helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around life commitments and geographical distance.
