Mandy Elliott

Mandy Elliott is a therapeutic counsellor with eight years of practice in the United Kingdom. She is a BACP member, which means she is registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. Mandy works with adults and young people, offering support for issues such as anxiety, depression, stress and relationship difficulties.

Mandy uses a person-centred mindset and draws on approaches like Transactional Analysis and Gestalt. She places priority on listening and helping people make sense of their experiences. Her work is grounded in the belief that clients are the experts on their own lives and bring strengths to the room.

A key part of her practice is sharing meditation and mindfulness skills from her personal Buddhist practice. She uses these tools when they fit a person’s needs to support self-awareness and calm. Mandy aims to introduce practical steps that people can try between sessions.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions aim to be a space to talk through difficulties and build self-understanding and confidence. Mandy highlights gentle, steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She has particular experience supporting people through trauma, grief, coping with life changes and challenges around family and parenting. She also helps with issues such as sleep difficulties, chronic pain or illness, attachment concerns and divorce and separation. Mandy encourages questions at any stage and aims to work at a pace that feels right for each person.

How Mandy’s approaches adapt to online counselling

Mandy works from a person-centred base and draws on Transactional Analysis and Gestalt ideas. Person-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and supporting a person to find their own solutions. It can help with low mood, anxiety and relationship concerns. Transactional Analysis looks at communication patterns and how people relate to others, useful for improving interactions and understanding repeated patterns. Gestalt work pays attention to what is happening in the moment and can help with awareness and unresolved feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mandy will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust the way she works to suit a person's goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape the focus of sessions and what practical tools are offered.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or make it easier to attend from different locations. The exact session formats supported should be confirmed before booking, and the therapist will explain options to help fit therapy into everyday life.
