About Hana
Hana Mandikova is a UK-based counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional practice. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, anger and related challenges. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, relationship strain, addiction and issues around self-esteem and identity.
Her approach is grounded in client-centred work that focuses on present experience and on helping people feel understood. She blends this with trauma-focused and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships and family patterns shape current behaviour. Sessions are paced to fit what the person can manage.
Hana places particular attention on how childhood and adolescent difficulties can create barriers in adulthood. She helps people map those patterns, recognise triggers and develop clearer choices in day-to-day life. Practical conversation is paired with attention to feelings and memories.
She also has experience supporting people with specific concerns such as eating and body-image issues, compassion fatigue, grief, career stress and LGBT matters. Work may include exploring attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, or coping with separation and immigration-related strain.
Her background includes years of counselling in educational, workplace and voluntary settings before her recent professional practice. That range informs a flexible manner in sessions and a focus on usable coping skills as well as deeper exploration.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on what you are experiencing now and on being listened to without judgement. Online sessions using this approach typically centre on active listening, reflecting what feels important, and helping people clarify immediate coping steps and choices.Mindfulness therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices alongside talking work. It can help with anger by teaching ways to notice rising tension and to return attention to the present moment, which reduces impulsive reactions and supports calmer responses.
Trauma-focused work looks at how past events shape present patterns and triggers. In conversation, it helps map those connections and develop safer ways to respond when old memories or sensations appear.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options and adjust methods based on the client's needs, goals and preferences, so sessions can include more practical skill-building or deeper exploration as required.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use these practical benefits to help therapy fit everyday life.
