About Mandy
Mandy Hedges is a BACP, NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, and a wide range of relationship and identity concerns. Mandy also supports issues around eating, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centred and Jungian approaches. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She then tests practical ways of responding differently and building new habits.
Mandy draws on solution-focused techniques to set clear, manageable goals. Sessions often include short exercises and homework to practise skills between meetings. She also works with themes of attachment, abandonment, body image and communication problems.
Her practice addresses chronic pain, illness and disability as they relate to emotional wellbeing. She can talk through issues connected to divorce and separation, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, fatherhood and family problems. Gender dysphoria, LGBT concerns, guilt, shame and forgiveness are also listed focus areas.
Mandy describes her work as collaborative and practical. She asks about each person’s current priorities and then suggests approaches that fit those aims. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How Mandy blends CBT with client-centred and solution-focused work online
Clients can expect clear, practical descriptions of the main approaches Mandy uses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot thinking patterns that increase anxiety or low mood, then try different ways of responding. Client-centred work focuses on listening and helping people clarify their own goals and values. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows conversations to small, achievable steps and practical changes to try between sessions.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Mandy will explore the client’s goals and preferences, then suggest which methods might help most. She checks in as the work progresses and adjusts the focus when needed so sessions stay relevant to what the client wants to achieve.
The original biography does not specify particular online session formats. Please confirm available formats before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or avoiding video when a phone call is preferable. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tasks and short exercises for remote sessions so practical skill-building continues between meetings.
