Mandy Elliott , BACP

Mandy Elliott is a BACP-registered therapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience supporting adults and young people. She draws on an integrative framework that includes Person-Centred work, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt techniques, and mindfulness-informed practice developed through years of meditation training. BACP stands for the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Mandy has particular experience working with younger adults in higher education, typically aged 16 to 22, and she supports people facing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, parenting and family challenges, sleep problems, anger, career concerns and coping with life changes. Her additional focus areas include attachment and blended family issues, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, separation and divorce, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose and midlife transition, financial stress, post-traumatic stress, and questions around sexuality and self-love.

She believes each person is the expert in their own story and builds on clients strengths to foster self-understanding, confidence and growth. As a practicing Buddhist, Mandy integrates meditation and mindfulness practices into her work when appropriate, offering a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore challenges and to support healing and personal development.
