About Hana
Hana Mandikova is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She also helps with relationship strain, addiction concerns, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. Hana works with issues such as compassion fatigue, body image, codependency and coping after a disaster, and she speaks English.
Hana has five years of clinical experience alongside many years of counselling in schools, workplaces and voluntary settings. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Her background includes sustained work with adults whose past experiences affect how they live now.
Her way of working is calm and direct. Sessions focus on the present moment and on understanding patterns that come from earlier relationships. Hana often combines client-centred listening with trauma-focused ideas to help people name what is happening and make practical steps forward.
People can expect a warm, non-judgemental space where they are listened to and taken seriously. Conversations move at a pace the client feels able to manage. The aim is to make problems easier to understand and to identify small changes that fit into everyday life.
Hana also has experience offering support around relationship breakdown, family issues and immigration-related stress. She encourages people to take the first step and complete the matching process to find a time to begin work together.
How these approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and understanding what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and to clarify what they want to change or keep. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations so stress and anxiety become easier to manage in daily life. Trauma-Focused Therapy centres on recognising how past events affect current feelings and behaviour and supports gradual work through those impacts.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and how comfortable you feel with different methods. Decisions about what to try are made collaboratively and can change as the relationship develops.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can allow shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions that slot around work or family routines. Please confirm the current session options when booking so you know which formats are available.
