Hana Mandikova, BACP

Hana Mandikova helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and relationship struggles. She works with issues such as addiction, grief, low self-esteem and challenges related to identity and life changes. Hana is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP, which indicates professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Hana draws on five years of professional experience alongside many more years of counselling work in schools, workplaces and voluntary settings. She offers a calm, accepting space where people can talk about past hurts and their effects today. Her approach is gentle and paced to each person.

In therapy she uses a client-centred way of working, which focuses on the person in front of her and their present experience. She also uses trauma-focused ideas to address the impact of past traumatic events. Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to help with grounding and reducing anxiety.

Hana explains how family patterns and early attachments can shape current relationships and emotional reactions. She helps people make sense of those patterns so they can move forward with clearer choices. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aiming to make clients feel seen and heard.

She also offers work with couples to help shift disconnection towards growth. If you decide to start, the initial steps involve a matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

How Hana's approaches fit online therapy

Hana uses client-centred work, which focuses on listening to the person's current experience and helping them feel understood. This approach helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and feeling overwhelmed by everyday life. Mindfulness therapy provides simple grounding and breathing practices to reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness. These tools are useful for panic, rumination and emotion regulation. Trauma-focused therapy looks at how past painful events affect life now and offers ways to process those memories and reactions so they have less power over daily functioning.

Finding the best way of working is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which approaches to use. This is a collaborative process that can change as the work progresses.
