About Mandy

Mandy Parnell is an integrative counsellor who has supported adults aged 18 and over for 16 years. She holds a BSc (Hons) degree in integrative counselling psychotherapy from the University of Roehampton - a university-level qualification that reflects her formal training - and is a registered member of the BACP, practising according to their ethical framework.

Mandy blends person-centred principles with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help clients explore how thoughts influence feelings and behaviours. Her integrative approach means she draws on different methods to suit each person, offering attentive listening, gentle guidance, and practical strategies when helpful. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is central to her work, and she prioritises getting to know each client as an individual.

She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, parenting, bipolar disorder, and a variety of other emotional and life challenges. Mandy also offers support for LGBT matters, multicultural concerns, and issues such as obsessive-compulsive behaviours and self-harm.

Mandy welcomes new clients, including international clients, and provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. More information is available at www.mandyparnellcounselling.com.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions

Client-centred therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship in which the client is heard and supported to explore their own values and goals - this approach suits people seeking understanding, self-awareness, and personal growth. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and patterns of behaviour; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating difficulties because it offers practical strategies and skills. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how these influence current feelings and connections - it can help with relationship issues, trauma, and self-esteem concerns.



Mandy works collaboratively with clients and with other registered professionals to find the therapeutic approach that fits best. Determining the right method is part of the process - clients and the therapist explore needs, goals, and personal preferences together and adapt the work as it progresses.



Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are arranged and attended. Mandy provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules, energy levels, and practical needs. These options make it easier for people to access regular support from qualified therapists without the need to travel, helping therapy fit into busy or geographically dispersed lives.
