Mandy Elliott , BACP

Mandy Elliott is a therapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience supporting adults and younger people. She is a fully registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, and brings an integrative stance to her practice that draws from person-centred ideas alongside other therapeutic methods.

Mandy has particular experience working with younger adults in higher education, typically those aged 16 to 22, and supports people facing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, abuse, and a wide range of life challenges. Her work is grounded in the belief that each person is the expert on their own story and that individuals already possess strengths that help them navigate and overcome difficulties.

Her practice is informed by a personal and professional commitment to meditation and mindfulness, developed through years of training and an ongoing Buddhist practice. Mandy aims to offer a non-judgemental space where clients can explore their feelings, build self-understanding, and develop confidence and self-worth. She focuses on empowering people to grow in ways that matter most to them and welcomes questions from anyone considering therapy.

Client-Centered and Mindfulness-Informed Online Therapy

Mandy practices primarily from a client-centered perspective, which focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client leads the pace and focus of sessions. This approach helps people explore personal challenges, build self-understanding, and strengthen internal resources for managing stress, anxiety, relationships, and life transitions.

Her work is also informed by meditation and mindfulness techniques developed through years of training. These practices offer simple tools to help manage overwhelming feelings, improve emotional regulation, and increase present-moment awareness, which can support recovery from trauma, low mood, and persistent worry.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Mandy works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time so therapy remains practical and responsive.

Online therapy with Mandy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it possible to access support from different locations and at times that suit busy lives. These options provide flexibility for people juggling study, work, family, or mobility limitations, while still allowing meaningful therapeutic connection with a licensed professional.
