Hana Mandikova

Hana Mandikova is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and eating and food-related issues. She supports those dealing with trauma, relationship strains, addiction and changes in life direction. Hana aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly and feel listened to.

She draws on a client-centred way of working that focuses on what is happening for a person right now. Mindfulness ideas are used to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. Trauma-focused ways of working are used when past experiences are getting in the way of daily life.

Hana has five years of professional experience and broader counselling work in education, workplaces and voluntary settings. Her BACP credential is listed in the profile. She describes helping people to understand how family patterns and past events affect life today.

Sessions are presented as a chance to unpack issues at a comfortable pace. Hana also mentions working with couples to move from disconnection towards growth. The emphasis is on being seen, heard and understood, even when difficulties feel messy.

People curious about starting therapy are invited to take a first step and complete the matching process before scheduling. The profile notes that sessions are offered in English and that international clients are not accepted.

How Hana's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what matters most to the person in front of the counsellor. It helps where someone needs a steady, accepting space to talk about worry, relationship issues or life changes.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings without being swept along by them. It is useful for anxiety, stress, body image concerns and eating and food-related issues where present-moment awareness can reduce reactivity.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on how past events continue to affect daily life and aims to help people make sense of those patterns. It can support steps towards feeling safer and more able to move forward from difficult memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hana will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most useful, adjusting methods as needs and goals become clearer.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also suit people who prefer to work from a familiar room or who need a way to join sessions without being on camera for the whole time. Registered or accredited professionals can offer different formats, so check which session types this counsellor provides when you arrange your first appointment.
