Mandy Clarkson helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, anger, low self-esteem and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family issues, trauma and grief, eating and sleeping problems, career worries, depression and ADHD. Mandy welcomes clients from the LGBT community and those with intimacy-related concerns.

She works in an approachable, calm manner. Sessions aim to be a space where people can say what they find hard.

Background and approach

Mandy uses a mix of straightforward conversation and practical techniques to make changes that feel manageable. Her practice combines Client-Centred Therapy with cognitive and solution-focused ideas. Mandy uses mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking when these suit the situation.

That flexible way means she tailors sessions to each person’s needs rather than following a single method. Mandy brings six years of experience to her work and holds BACP registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her background includes supporting people through loss, trauma and family-of-origin difficulties, and helping those with body image and eating-related issues.

In sessions she aims to build understanding of patterns that keep problems going, and to find clear steps forward. People can expect practical tools for coping, calmer thinking, and space to talk through difficult feelings. Mandy offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs.

Approaches that suit talking online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and helping the person lead the conversation. It is useful when someone needs acceptance, validation and space to sort out feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and offers practical steps to change them, which can help with anxiety, low mood and anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day realities to decide which methods to try. That choice can change over time as needs shift, and the process is collaborative rather than fixed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation with visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break or commute. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, written reflection or moments when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to use approaches like CBT and mindfulness without attending in person.
