Hana Mandikova helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and relationship strain. She also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, low self-esteem and challenges like body image or codependency. Hana uses straightforward language and a calm manner to make sessions easy to follow.

Hana has five years of professional experience and works in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are aimed at adults who want to better understand how past experiences shape their present and to find practical ways to cope.

Background and approach

Her approach is warm and person-centred. She encourages people to describe what they notice in the moment and to pace therapy at a speed that feels manageable. That focus helps when anxiety, depression or trauma make it hard to stay present.

Hana also draws on mindfulness techniques to help calm the nervous system and build day-to-day coping skills. When past events keep repeating in relationships, she uses trauma-focused ideas to make sense of patterns and to reduce their hold on current life. Sessions aim to create clear steps forward.

People often work on boundaries, communication, relapse prevention for addictions, managing compassion fatigue or navigating big life changes. Hana explains options and helps set goals that suit each person’s circumstances.

How Hana’s approaches work online

Client‑centred work focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. Online this means sessions begin with what the client notices now, and the counsellor follows that experience to understand feelings and goals. It helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship worries.

Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing skills. Delivered by video or phone, these practices can reduce reactivity and build steady daily routines for sleep, eating and mood. They suit people who want short exercises to use between sessions.

Trauma-focused approaches aim to make sense of how past events affect current life. In online sessions the counsellor helps link patterns and reactions to earlier experiences, and supports step-by-step work to reduce their day-to-day impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options during early sessions and adapt methods to the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps choose whether to emphasise present-focused skills, mindfulness or trauma-related exploration.

Online formats offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when looking for a quieter check-in, and live chat or text messaging suit short updates or ongoing support between meetings. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and travel commitments.
