About Mandy

Mandy Greaves helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She works at a pace tailored to each person and practises as an integrative counsellor. Mandy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience.

Mandy uses an integrative approach, drawing on different counselling models and practical therapeutic interventions. She aims to help clients notice and reduce repetitive negative thoughts and to manage overwhelming feelings that get in the way of day-to-day life. Sessions focus on talking through what matters to the client and developing skills to feel less weighed down by anxious or painful feelings.

Her Ba (Hons) degree is noted in her background, and she follows the BACP code of practice while receiving regular clinical supervision. This underpins her practice and how she plans sessions with people who come for help.

Mandy describes her work as combining ideas from a range of counselling theories so she can adjust methods as needed. Her approach includes practical exercises and therapeutic conversations aimed at improving confidence, motivation and coping skills.

People who choose to work with her can expect a conversational style that sets a pace based on what they say they can manage. The focus is on steady progress, learning new ways to handle difficult emotions, and building everyday strategies to move forward.

How Mandy uses therapeutic approaches in online work

Integral approaches allow flexibility in how therapy is offered. One approach she uses is cognitive-focused work, which involves noticing patterns of repetitive negative thought and practising strategies to reduce rumination and worry. This can help with anxiety and stress by giving practical ways to manage thinking habits.

Another strand is skills-based intervention, where learning new coping skills and behavioural strategies is central. These exercises aim to improve confidence, motivation and everyday coping when dealing with grief, anger or life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Mandy will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods match their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in her biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling. It also allows practical exercises and conversations to be continued between sessions so therapy can fit into everyday life.
