About Me

Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to visit me. Lotus Counselling UK offers online mental health talking therapy to individuals and families.

My name is Mandy and I am a qualified Counsellor, I qualified with a BTEC Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), membership no. 393650. I am insured by Holistic Insurance Services, I hold an up to date Enhanced DBS and have also completed the required safeguarding training, which is updated as required.

As a member of the BACP, I adhere to their code of ethics, have regular counselling supervision to ensure the safety of clients within my therapeutic private practice. I offer my clients a safe, ethical, competent, and professional service at all times.

My experience as a Counsellor is working with children and young people aged between 6 and 19 years based in primary schools, secondary schools and sixth form settings and also with adults through a local non-profit organisation and my Private Practice, all of this has provided me with a wealth of experience in areas such as:

I am a warm, professional, down-to-earth and experienced Counsellor who loves what she does.

As a qualified, registered and experienced Counsellor, I adopt a person-centred approach, meaning our sessions are more directed by you than led by me. It is time reserved for you, to be accepted and listened to without judgement.

The person-centred approach promotes the development of a strong therapeutic relationship and this, in turn, provides a solid base upon which change, and growth can happen, however I do integrate aspects of other approaches if I feel they can be of benefit to you.

You can do this and I can help you........

• Difficulties at school

• Eating Issues

• Family Issues

• Forgiveness

• Gender Dysphoria / Identity

• Grief & Loss

• Identity Dysmorphia

• Illness

• Loneliness & Isolation

• Marriage

• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

In my private practice all counselling sessions take place via Zoom.
