About Hana
Hana Mandikova is a counsellor who helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and work-related wellbeing concerns. She also supports those coping with relationship and family issues, grief, addiction and self-esteem problems. Hana works with people facing life changes, career questions, eating and anger struggles, and those feeling isolated or unsure about purpose.
Hana holds BACP accreditation, and has five years of professional practice alongside many earlier counselling roles in education, workplaces and voluntary settings. She describes a calm, non-judgemental approach where clients are treated with patience and respect. Sessions focus on what is happening now as well as how past experiences may shape current reactions.
Her main ways of working include client-centred practice, mindfulness and trauma-focused therapy. In-session she listens actively, reflects back what she hears and encourages gentle awareness of thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations. Mindfulness exercises and trauma-informed techniques are offered to help manage distress and reduce reactivity.
Hana also uses psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of recurring patterns that come from family of origin or earlier relationships. That exploration is done at the client’s pace so people can feel safe while they unpack difficult memories or habits. She aims to help people notice practical changes that make everyday life easier.
If you’re considering therapy for work and wellbeing or related concerns, Hana asks clients to begin by completing the Start Therapy questionnaire and scheduling sessions according to her availability. The subscription for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
How Hana’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to each person and reflecting what matters most to them. It helps people feel understood and guides them to notice their own thoughts and choices. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple exercises to build present-moment awareness and reduce stress, which can be useful for anxiety, burnout and everyday overwhelm. Trauma-Focused Therapy involves careful, paced work to address how past hurt affects today, with techniques aimed at reducing reactivity and building coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Hana works collaboratively to identify which methods fit your needs, goals and preferences. She will talk through options, try techniques together and adjust the plan as you go so the work remains relevant and manageable.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people access reflective support while juggling work and family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt client-centred conversation, mindfulness exercises and trauma-focused tools for remote sessions so the practical work can continue even when meeting online.
