More about Mandy
- 11 years' experience

- BACP
My approach to counselling is based on an integrated approach, initially using Person-centred Therapy, Gestalt Therapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). Over my 10+ years as a counsellor, I have continued to develop my skills and knowledge through Continuing Professional Development.
I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety (including OCD), relationship problems, self esteem and confidence issues parenting challenges, career challenges, ADHD and suicidal thinking. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Believing in working with people and don't believe in stigmatizing labels.
I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
