About Mandy
Mandy Clarkson helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, anger, low self-esteem and life changes. She also supports those facing grief, trauma and abuse, relationship or intimacy struggles, sleeping and eating difficulties, career worries, depression and ADHD. Mandy’s first paragraph gives a warm, calm welcome to anyone feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about seeking help.
Mandy trained in person-centred practice and holds a BACP accreditation, which she describes in plain terms as a professional counselling credential.
Background and approach
Over six years she has developed an integrative style, drawing on several approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than using a single method. Her sessions are relaxed in tone and aimed at helping people speak about difficult experiences. She places emphasis on listening, building self-awareness and working together to find practical steps forward.
This often includes looking at unhelpful thinking, small behavioural experiments and noticing patterns that shape everyday feelings. Mandy says her own life experiences inform her empathy and understanding. She keeps the work focused on what someone wants to change and how they can get there.
She aims to balance emotional support with short-term, goal-focused work when that suits the person. People can expect an individualised approach that adapts over time. Mandy combines client-centred care with tools from cognitive and mindfulness-based methods, plus elements of psychodynamic and solution-focused thinking.
Sessions are intended to help people feel steadier and more able to cope with life’s demands.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mandy will talk about what feels most useful, try out different ways of working and adjust methods based on a person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps shape sessions so they match what a person needs right now.
Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
