Psychologist & Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, based in Bramley, Guildford, Surrey

If you are struggling and need someone to help you understand why things are going wrong, need guidance in your relationships, or are dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, trauma and/or depression, I can certainly help you explore whatever is troubling you.

We will work as a team, and together you will hopefully feel less alone in what you are experiencing. You’ll gain self-awareness and find practical ways to improve your quality of life. I offer support, a friendly ear, and an open-minded, non-judgemental ‘therapy space’ to help you unpick your problems, find solutions and make effective and long-lasting change.

Successful therapy isn’t about qualifications alone, it’s also about empathy, excellent people skills, and the ability to put others at ease. I hold a BA Degree with Joint Majors in Psychology and Sociology & also studied two years of Law. I’m fluent in three languages – English, French, and Afrikaans.  I studied further to become accredited with the British Psychological Society and also completed a Post Graduate qualification (two years part-time) in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

A mixture of psycho-dynamic therapy (why & how it all links together) and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (why, how and what to do about it).

I’m especially interested in solutions for anxiety (social anxiety, generalised anxiety, health anxiety, etc), childhood trauma, and helping couples who are struggling in their relationship.

You can speak with me in the comfort of your own home via Skype or Zoom. Feel free to get in touch to chat about what’s bothering you.

Arranging a session

Let’s arrange a session – I’m keen to listen & support you, and look forward to meeting you! I have come a long way since my teens/twenties when I was depressed, emotionally ‘all-over-the-place’ and very insecure. I wish I could say I never feel insecure or experience self doubt anymore but at least I am a vastly improved version of my younger self in terms of self awareness, mental resilience and knowing what makes me happy (most of the time).

A tricky childhood and some challenging health issues along the way have given me a deeper perspective on life. Being so aware of how easily life can end, has motivated me to be more present in my life and to take life less seriously.

 

What is cognitive behavioural therapy?

My upbringing, depression and health issues have been partly responsible for my success in counselling others. Dealing with trauma and successfully navigating life’s challenges has definitely helped me to be more empathic towards others. I use a mixture of psycho-dynamic counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy as well as my own personal blend of compassion, personal life experience and empathy.

Also offering a bespoke mental health service to those requiring therapy in the privacy of their own homes. I am also able to make referrals where necessary and provides comprehensive support for those seeking help on issues such as: Anxiety such as social anxiety, health anxiety and generalized anxiety disorder), addiction, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and psychosis.

Feedback from clients

Anna.T – California

I was amazed at how much counselling helped me. I battled for years with anxiety and after 10 therapy sessions I felt ready to face things I had avoided for years. I have a spring in my step and Mandy has helped me get my life back. Don’t wait till it’s too late.

Tom. D

My entire life has been spent visiting mental health experts and Mandy was the first therapist who explained the important links to help me make sense of my problems. I see how my upbringing has caused me so much trouble but. bit by bit, I am learning to find new and better ways to cope. Highly recommend Mandy – definitely one of the best therapists out there.

Naomi. H

Learning about myself has been the biggest key to changing my life and I couldn’t have done it with Mandy’s help. She is insightful and professional. Not only is she extremely experienced but she has had a hard life too, so she approaches from many angles when dealing with mental health.

E.F – Chicago

“A few years back, Mandy was a guest on a podcast I listened to regularly, and her words literally saved me. I ran and got a pen, rewound the podcast, wrote down her advice, and carried it in my wallet. Anytime I felt discomfort I would pull out her words- reading them snapped me out of it. To this day, they still help. Recently I googled her, loved her website, and what do you know- SHE DOES ZOOM SESSIONS. They’re awesome. Mandy gives me the most practical, applicable feedback. We are very focused in our sessions, and I come out of them a better person each time. Her technique is the perfect balance of analysis and action; the tools she gives me have a calming effect and I feel almost immediate relief. Mandy is really helping me to level up my life on all fronts; it’s well worth the time and money and I’m so glad I work with her.”

A.K.

“I honestly cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for me. I can 100% say that if it wasn’t for you and all of your support and wonderful advice I would have completely screwed it all up by now. I have learnt so much from you….it has been absolutely invaluable ”

G,I.

“I will never use another therapist again after finding Mandy – she is brilliant”.

S.S

“After trying a few counsellors, I was very pleased to find Mandy. A straight forward no-nonsense approach that has helped me sort my life out.
