Mandy Elliott

Mandy Elliott is a therapeutic counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with eight years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults and younger adults, including people in higher education, and focuses on everyday problems such as anxiety, depression, stress and relationship issues.

Mandy uses a person-centred approach in sessions and believes clients are the experts of their own story. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what is troubling them and find their own strengths.

Her background includes experience helping people with trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, sleep difficulties and life changes. Mandy also supports those coping with chronic pain, attachment issues, blended family concerns and career or money worries.

Meditation and mindfulness form a practical part of her work, informed by her personal practice as a Buddhist and several years of meditation training. These skills are offered as tools to help manage stress, build self-awareness and reduce reactivity.

In sessions Mandy focuses on building self-understanding, confidence and self-worth. She encourages small, realistic steps and works at a pace that suits each person. The aim is to help people gain clearer direction and more reliable coping strategies for day-to-day life.

How Mandy's person-centred work fits online

Mandy practises person-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. This approach is about building trust and helping the client identify their own goals and strengths. It suits concerns like anxiety, low mood, relationship stress and questions about life direction.

She also draws on meditation and mindfulness techniques learned through years of practice. These are taught in simple, practical ways to help with stress, sleep difficulties and managing strong emotions. When helpful, brief mindfulness practices can be used during sessions and as homework.

Finding the right method is part of the process. Mandy will work collaboratively to decide what feels most useful, adjusting the approach as needs and goals become clearer. Clients are encouraged to feed back about what works and what doesn't, so therapy evolves to fit them.

The therapist's biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support people who are abroad, as international clients are accepted, though scheduling should take time zones into account.
