About Hana
Hana Mandikova is a counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship issues and a wide range of life changes. Hana also supports concerns linked to addiction, self-esteem, grief and career worries.
Hana describes a person-centred way of working that keeps the client's present experience at the centre of sessions. She blends this with trauma-focused ideas and psychodynamic thinking to look at how past events and family patterns affect day-to-day life. Sessions are conversational and paced to the client rather than rushed.
Her approach pays attention to how attachment and abandonment issues, body image and codependency show up in relationships. She also addresses eating and food-related issues, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, and the impacts of immigration or natural disasters. That background aims to help people understand the patterns that keep returning.
Practical tools from mindfulness therapy appear alongside the talk work. This can mean learning ways to notice strong emotions, to slow the impulse to react, and to use breathing or grounding techniques when tension builds. The emphasis is on small, repeatable steps rather than dramatic change.
Hana has a history of counselling in educational, workplace and voluntary settings. She invites people to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging a first session through the online booking route.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's current experience and priorities. In practice this means sessions that follow the client's topics, with the therapist reflecting back what is noticed and helping clarify feelings and choices. It suits people who want a listening-based way to understand their reactions and next steps.Mindfulness Therapy offers practical skills to notice and manage strong emotions. Techniques include simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and help people pause before responding. This approach can be useful for anger that feels sudden or overwhelming, and for stress and anxiety that build slowly.
Trauma-Focused Therapy works on how past events continue to affect everyday life. It helps people make sense of why some situations trigger intense responses and supports gradual work on those patterns with appropriate pacing.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then shape sessions together so the work fits the client's needs.
Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the pace and tools of these methods to work well in remote appointments.
