About Hana
Hana Mandikova helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, addictions, grief, and struggles with eating or body image. She also supports those coping with career changes, compassion fatigue, anger, life transitions and questions about life purpose. Hana’s name appears here to make it clear who leads the work.
Hana uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on what a person is feeling and thinking right now.
Background and approach
She also draws on trauma-focused ideas to help people understand how past events shape their present. Sessions are calm and paced to each person, so people can open up at their own speed. Her background includes five years of professional experience and a broader history of counselling in educational, workplace and voluntary settings.
She is a BACP member, which is a recognised UK counselling association that signals professional standards. In sessions Hana listens without judgement and helps people make sense of family patterns, attachment issues and abandonment concerns. She guides conversations about difficult memories, domestic violence, separation and immigration-related stress in straightforward terms.
Practical skills such as mindfulness are used where helpful to reduce anxiety and build coping strategies. Work can include short-term coaching goals or longer exploration of trauma and addiction. The aim is to help people feel understood, gain clearer choices and move towards the life they want.

Approaches Hana lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to help reduce stress and bring the focus back to the moment. It can be helpful for anxiety, coping with life changes and building steadiness during difficult emotions.
Trauma-focused therapy works by gently naming the impact of past events and exploring how those experiences shape current feelings and relationships. This approach supports people working through abuse, attachment wounds and complex grief.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help assess needs, goals and preferences together and suggest which methods to try first. Sessions can combine elements from different approaches as the person’s needs evolve.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be lighter on technology and useful for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter exchanges or people who prefer typing to speaking. Registered and accredited professionals offer these formats so people can pick what works best for them.
