About Hana
Hana Mandikova is a counsellor who helps people manage depression, anxiety and stress. She works with adults facing trauma, relationship strain, addiction issues and life changes. Hana offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about what feels hard right now.
Hana holds a BACP credential, and brings five years of professional practice alongside longer experience in education, workplace and voluntary settings. She focuses on what is happening for a person in the present while also looking at patterns that began in the past.
Background and approach
This balance helps people make sense of recurring difficulties without feeling rushed. Her approach is client-centred, meaning sessions are guided by what the person needs and notices in the moment. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with grounding and managing overwhelming feelings.
Trauma-focused work is offered for those whose past events continue to affect daily life. In sessions, Hana typically listens first and follows the client's pace. Conversations may include exploring family patterns, attachment experiences, and how those shape current reactions.
Practical ways to cope with low mood, cravings, or relationship conflict are discussed alongside deeper reflection. Hana aims to make therapy straightforward and humane. She supports people through grief, compassion fatigue, career uncertainty, body image and eating concerns, and many other issues.
The goal is clearer understanding and small, manageable steps toward feeling better.

Approaches Hana lists

Online support
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and ease overwhelming feelings. These techniques can be used between sessions to manage anxiety, cravings or intense sadness and to build steadier coping skills.
Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to address how past events continue to affect daily life. This work moves at the client's pace and combines grounding, gentle processing and practical coping strategies to reduce symptoms that come from traumatic experiences.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will help you identify which methods fit your needs, goals and preferences, and adapt the pace and tools as therapy progresses. Decisions are made collaboratively so each person feels involved in their care.
Online sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video offers a fuller sense of connection, phone can work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging allow short check-ins and reflection outside sessions. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
