About Mandy

Mandy Parnell is an integrative therapist who works with adults aged 18 and above, bringing 16 years of clinical experience to her practice. She trained at the University of Roehampton and holds a BSc hons degree in integrative counselling psychotherapy, an undergraduate qualification that combined different therapeutic models and clinical training.

As a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Mandy follows recognized professional and ethical standards for counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom. Her work draws on both person-centred principles and cognitive behavioural techniques, reflecting a belief that thoughts shape feelings and behaviours and that collaborative exploration can open pathways to change.

Mandy places strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, prioritising a warm, attentive connection that helps people feel heard and understood. She describes therapy as a personal journey and aims to support clients as they discover what matters to them, sometimes offering gentle direction while primarily listening and reflecting. Mandy believes that people have the capacity to learn about themselves, make meaningful change, and pursue a life of greater satisfaction and enjoyment.

She welcomes new clients and looks forward to meeting people who are ready to begin a constructive process of reflection and growth. For more information, visit www.mandyparnellcounselling.com.

Approach to therapy and online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental environment where the client is invited to lead the conversation; it helps people explore their feelings, build self-awareness, and strengthen decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then developing practical strategies to change those patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relational patterns formed in early life and how they influence current relationships, helping clients address difficulties with trust, intimacy, and emotional regulation.

Mandy approaches therapeutic choice as a collaborative process - finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss different methods, consider the client’s goals and preferences, and adapt techniques so the approach fits each person’s needs rather than applying a single model across the board.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by making sessions available through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or ongoing text-based messaging. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from different locations, fit therapy around work and family commitments, and maintain continuity of care when in-person sessions are not possible.
