Hana Mandikova
Compassionate therapist for trauma and life change
About Hana
Hana Mandikova helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns and questions about self-worth. Her approach suits people who want a steady, person-focused space to think things through and find practical next steps.
Hana works from a client-centred standpoint, which means conversations follow whatever matters most to the person in the room. She also draws on trauma-focused ways of working to address past events that are still affecting daily life.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be calm and clear, with time to build trust and to notice patterns that keep returning. With five years of professional experience and years of counselling work in educational and voluntary settings, Hana has practical experience with a wide range of life challenges. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
People can expect a non-judgemental presence and straightforward, plain-language conversation. Hana helps people make sense of how family patterns, attachment or past hurt affect current choices. She guides clients to spot manageable changes rather than overwhelming goals.
Hana offers sessions in English and works with individuals on concerns such as eating and body image, addictions, compassion fatigue, career strain and coping with major life changes. She also supports people dealing with domestic violence, immigration issues and isolation. The focus is on steady progress, not quick fixes.

How her approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what you bring to the session. The therapist reflects back what she hears and helps you find your own solutions, which can ease anxiety and build self-understanding.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. Practising these skills can help with stress, depression and staying grounded after difficult events.
Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past harm still shows up today and uses careful, paced work to reduce its impact. This approach is aimed at people who find their past experiences interrupt daily life or relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the journey and the therapist will work with the client to decide what fits best. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made or as needs shift.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video suits longer, face-to-face style work while phone calls can be useful for lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging allow people to work in brief moments between other commitments. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
