About Mandy
Mandy Clarkson is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strains, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related concerns. She also supports people coping with life changes, anger, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, career pressures, depression and ADHD.
Mandy presents as calm and approachable and aims to make the first step easier for anyone feeling uncertain about therapy. Mandy trained primarily in Person-Centred therapy, also known as client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and creating a respectful space for people to speak.
Background and approach
Over time she has moved to an integrative way of working, combining techniques from different approaches to suit each person. That means sessions are shaped to the individual rather than fitting everyone to one method. Her work draws on several approaches including cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness, psychodynamic thinking, and solution-focused techniques.
These are used in plain language to look at patterns, build coping skills, and set small practical goals that make day-to-day life easier. Mandy talks about increasing self-awareness and improving life satisfaction as outcomes people often aim for. She brings six years of practice to her work and holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP.
Mandy has experience supporting people from varied backgrounds and across a wide range of concerns. Sessions are available in English and based in the United Kingdom. If someone is ready to begin, the process starts by choosing the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to therapist availability.

How Mandy's approaches can work online
Client-Centred therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can talk through their concerns; it helps with low mood, relationship worries and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers straightforward tools to spot thinking and behaviour patterns and then try practical changes that reduce anxiety, manage mood and improve sleep.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mandy aims to be collaborative, discussing goals and preferences and choosing techniques together so sessions feel relevant and manageable for the person attending.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or making it simpler to join from a quieter place. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt CBT exercises and client-centred listening to an online setting, helping people practise skills between sessions and carry progress into everyday routines.
