Mandy Greaves, BACP

Mandy draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors them to each person. One approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns, helping people to spot automatic negative thoughts and try alternative, balanced ways of thinking. This can be useful for anxiety and low mood. Another approach teaches practical coping skills such as relaxation exercises, activity planning and step-by-step problem solving to reduce overwhelm and build confidence. These techniques help with stress, anger and managing day-to-day challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mandy works with the client to agree goals and then tries methods that fit their needs and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan if something does not feel helpful, so the work stays focused and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls suit deeper, face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging allow for shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections or writing things down between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and daily life.
