Mandy Greaves welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by worry, low mood, or big life changes. She explains things simply and works at a pace that suits each person. Mandy aims to help clients find relief from anxious thoughts and build practical skills to feel more in control.

Mandy holds a Ba (Hons) degree and has five years of professional experience. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she follows for ethical practice and clinical supervision.

Background and approach

Mandy describes herself as an integrative counsellor, so she draws on ideas from different counselling models rather than using only one method. In sessions she offers an empathic, non-judgemental space to talk about what matters most. Conversations focus on unpacking difficult feelings and identifying manageable steps forward.

The aim is to reduce overwhelm and increase confidence over time. Mandy has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She tailors interventions to each person’s needs and preferences rather than applying a fixed programme.

Practical tools and new ways of thinking are woven into sessions alongside emotional support. Mandy encourages a collaborative approach where clients set goals and try strategies between meetings. This hands-on style helps people test what works in everyday life.

How Mandy’s Approaches Work Online

Mandy practises integrative counselling, which means she blends techniques from different evidence-based approaches to match each person’s needs. That can include helping people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood. It also involves practical coping strategies to manage strong emotions and day-to-day stress.

She draws on methods that teach practical skills and on talking therapies that help make sense of difficult experiences. For example, approaches that focus on thoughts can help with overthinking and anxiety, while emotion-focused techniques can help with grief or anger. Mandy tailors which tools to use based on what the person finds most useful and comfortable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mandy collaborates with each person to set goals, try different strategies, and review what helps. This shared planning makes it easier to adapt the way sessions are run as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be quicker when time is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing contact between meetings. These options add flexibility so people can fit therapy around work, family life, and other commitments.
