Wanda Hagan, BACP

Wanda Hagan is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, sleep problems and depression. Wanda aims to make it easier to take the first steps towards change and greater wellbeing.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can name what’s worrying them and talk through difficult feelings. Conversations are straightforward and grounded, focusing on what matters to the person in front of her. Wanda encourages practical steps alongside emotional reflection so small changes can build into lasting difference.

Over 15 years she has worked with a wide range of concerns linked to attachment, adoption and foster care, and autism and Asperger Syndrome. She also addresses issues such as body image, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, and the stress that follows divorce or separation.

Other areas she supports include first responder issues, coping after disasters, guilt and shame, infidelity and jealousy, and obsessive or compulsive behaviours. Panic attacks, phobias and related anxiety presentations are also part of her experience.

Wanda is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She speaks English and is available to work with clients in the UK and internationally. To begin, clients follow a simple online matching process then arrange sessions to suit their schedules.

How Wanda's approaches translate to online therapy

Wanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach helps people recognise patterns in their thoughts and behaviours, then try small experiments to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Another approach concentrates on processing difficult experiences from trauma and abuse so daily life becomes less affected by past events.

Choosing a method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt the approach as therapy progresses. Clients and the therapist review progress together and try different strategies if needed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to keep regular appointments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, or fully paced sessions when more talking is needed. Confirm the exact session formats available with the therapist before booking so you know what options are offered and how they fit into your routine.
