About Hana
Counsellor Hana Mandikova is a BACP member with five years of professional experience in the UK. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self‑esteem, relationship and family problems, grief, addiction, eating issues and career concerns.
Hana works in a person-centred way that focuses on what someone is experiencing now. She also draws on trauma-focused ideas to look at how past events affect daily life. Sessions are aimed at helping someone notice patterns and make sense of how early family relationships influence present feelings and behaviour.
She has a background in educational, workplace and voluntary counselling settings. That variety informs a practical approach to common problems such as isolation, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. Hana also lists work around body image, attachment and codependency among her focus areas.
In sessions she speaks plainly and lets conversations unfold at the client’s pace. People who want to address difficult memories, relationship breakdowns or ongoing anxiety can expect steady, exploratory conversations rather than quick fixes.
Hana offers help in English and does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approaches used in online counselling
Hana uses client‑centred work to focus on a person’s present experience. This approach involves listening closely, reflecting what comes up and helping people notice their thoughts and feelings as they happen. It is useful for anxiety, low self‑esteem and everyday stress.She also uses trauma‑focused methods to look at how past hurt affects current life. That work helps with unresolved trauma, abuse and patterns that repeat in relationships. Trauma‑focused work aims to make painful memories easier to understand and manage over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about methods are made together and can change as the work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking.
