Mandy has experience working with a diverse range of clients from adolescents to older adults. She firmly believes in collaborating with her clients from the outset. “I listen and I guide, but it is the client who decides what to take on board and when to grow”. She creatively combines evidence-based techniques from various modalities including Schema, ACT, CBT, - tailored for her client’s specific needs. Her presentation style – whether to an audience of one, or a group – is frequently flavoured with artistry and theatrics that seep in from her past as an amateur vocal performer.

Mandy brings to her work a lived experience as a migrant, raising a blended culture family, in a low SES environment. Her experiences in her country of origin, previous workplaces; and personal life have imbued her with a passion to tackle unresolved trauma and break the cycle of intergenerational harm. With a sound understanding of the therapeutic alliance, Mandy provides a warm, safe space for her clients – from the very start to the very end of their healing journey.

Abuse, neglect, and even seemingly minor trauma can cause a pain that lingers and can get in the way of joy, emotional connection, and sense of worth. Anxious thoughts, lack of motivation, irrational fears and excessive behaviours might simply be the end-product of your difficult experience. It does not have to be the final chapter in your story. You are not faulty or broken and your life can change. Using evidence based EMDR, Hypnosis, ACT, CBT and Mindfulness, I collaborate and guide you to recovery. There is a space in sessions for you to learn, to share, to cry and to laugh - and start your journey to being you.
