Mandy Greaves, BACP

Mandy Greaves is a UK-licensed integrative therapist with five years of professional experience and a Ba (Hons) degree, a bachelor’s degree with honours. She offers a considered, person-focused approach that adapts to each individual’s pace and needs, combining ideas and interventions from multiple counselling models to match the issues a person brings.

Mandy provides an empathic, non-judgemental space where people can explore persistent negative thoughts, overthinking about the past or future, and painful emotions that interfere with daily life. She works collaboratively to unpack distress, teach practical coping skills, and support clients as they build confidence and move toward feeling lighter and more empowered.

Her practice addresses a range of concerns including stress and anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low self-esteem, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, coping with life changes, and ADHD. As a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Mandy follows the association’s ethics and code of practice and receives regular clinical supervision to inform her work.

She tailors conversations and treatment plans to each client’s unique circumstances, encouraging small steps and practical strategies. More information is available on her website www.mandygreavescounselling.co.uk.

Integrative approaches for online therapeutic support

Mandy practices an integrative approach that blends techniques from multiple evidence-informed models into a coherent plan tailored to the person. This method focuses on understanding the individual’s story, identifying patterns that maintain distress, and selecting interventions that fit the person’s goals and strengths. It is useful for anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, and coping with life transitions.

She also uses practical, skills-based evidence-informed techniques that help manage unhelpful thoughts and overwhelming emotions. These interventions can include structured exercises, emotion regulation strategies, and step-by-step skill building aimed at reducing distress and increasing daily functioning.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Mandy works collaboratively with each person to explore what feels most helpful, adjusting methods over time based on needs, progress, and preferences.

Online therapy with Mandy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without travel, while keeping the focus on practical progress and wellbeing.
