Hello, I’m Mandy,

I help people navigate their lowest moments, with kindness, curiosity and the strong belief that our difficulties do not define us.

Working with me

Time and space for what matters most to you

I take a warm, collaborative & non-judgmental approach in our work together; offering you time and space to express what’s most important to you.

A complimentary 30 minute introductory meeting online gives us the opportunity to see if working together is a good fit.

Where possible, I aim to offer appointments within the same week of enquiry.

Sessions are £60 per hour.

I work in rooms based in Stratford-upon-Avon, Leamington Spa, and Broadway, and nationally via my online clinic on VSee.

About me

Doing the inside work

I love working with people and always have. In my previous career my role was about helping people feel good about themselves externally, and now I work with people doing the inside work.

After gaining my qualification in Person-centred Counselling & Psychotherapy in 2019, I opened the doors to my private practice. It’s been my privilege to observe the change in clients through the course of our work. Prior to that I worked in agencies and the charitable sector.

Most of the time, the problem that brings a person to therapy is rarely the content of our work. A lot of the recovery is in healing emotional injury — often, but not always, due to experiences in their formative years. I enable clients to become their own biggest supporter, as opposed to their worst critic.

Once people recognise the origins of ideas they have about themselves, there is a choice: do they hold onto those ideas, or do they move forward based on their values and not the approval of others.
