Hana Mandikova , BACP

Hana Mandikova is a therapist credentialed in the United Kingdom, with 4 years of professional work experience and an additional 15 years of counselling experience across educational, workplace, and voluntary settings. She is BACP registered, meaning she holds membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings a trauma-informed perspective to her practice.

She works primarily with adults whose past difficulties and traumatic experiences can make it hard to fully engage with the present. Hana provides a non-judgemental and accepting space to explore childhood and adolescent trauma, anxiety, depression, and a wide range of life challenges. Her approach centers on awareness of current experience while also making space to explore how the past influences present patterns.

Hana combines a person-centered stance with psychodynamic exploration so clients can unpack issues at their own pace and feel seen, heard, and understood, even when concerns feel messy or disorganised. By looking at family patterns and the impact of earlier experiences, she helps clients gain insight into what may be holding them back from moving forward.

In addition to individual work, Hana is a trained couples therapist and supports partners who want to move from disconnection toward growth. She recognises the courage it takes to begin therapy and is ready to work with people taking that first step.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Hana Mandikova

Hana Mandikova employs client-centered therapy to create an accepting environment where the individual's experience guides the pace and focus of work. This approach emphasizes empathy and active listening, which can help with self-esteem, relationship issues, and coping with life changes.

She also draws on trauma-focused therapy, which concentrates on understanding and processing past traumatic experiences that continue to affect daily life. This method supports people dealing with the lingering effects of trauma, helping them make sense of how earlier events shape present reactions and relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Hana works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what is helpful and adjust the plan as therapy unfolds.

Offering sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging makes therapy more flexible and accessible. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy schedules, and support clients who may find in-person meetings difficult to attend.
