About Mandy
Mandy Clarkson is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She offers calm, steady support for parenting worries, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, and problems with sleep or eating. Mandy uses a warm, non-judgemental style to make it easier to talk about difficult things.
She trained initially in person-centred therapy and now works in an integrative way. That means she draws on different approaches to suit each person.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on practical steps people can try between meetings. Mandy brings six years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which indicates adherence to a recognised professional body. She writes plainly and encourages clients to name their goals early on, so work stays focused and useful.
In practice she uses ideas from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to help with mood, sleep and anxiety. She also draws on psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas to look at patterns in relationships and to identify small, achievable changes. People often find sessions conversational and reflective.
Mandy aims to build understanding of feelings and behaviour, and to support practical coping strategies. Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Online support
She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems because it offers concrete strategies to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mandy will talk with each person about their needs and preferences, then suggest ways of combining approaches. The choice of methods is collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility in how people connect. Video calls are close to face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can fit a busy day or require less bandwidth, and text options allow shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family and everyday life.
