About Mandy
Mandy Cross is a counsellor with 11 years of practice who combines practical tools with a person-focused way of working. She holds BACP accreditation, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she works from the United Kingdom. Mandy writes and listens with a warm, interactive manner and aims to help people take the first steps towards change.
She commonly helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and grief.
Background and approach
Mandy also supports those facing trauma and abuse, addictions, low self-esteem and relationship or intimacy-related problems. Her work includes concerns around eating, sleeping, anger, career and coping with life changes. Mandy draws on client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches alongside existential and mindfulness ideas.
She shapes sessions around each person’s needs and uses straightforward strategies and practical exercises when helpful. Sessions are adaptable to how someone prefers to talk and reflect. Her additional focus areas include issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, chronic pain or illness, caregiver stress and end-of-life concerns.
She also works with topics like forgiveness, guilt and shame, infidelity and communication problems to help people find clearer next steps. Mandy aims to be respectful and non-judgemental in sessions. She avoids labelling and looks to build an honest working relationship so people feel heard.
Her style is collaborative, practical and rooted in real-life problems. To begin, Mandy asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit with her availability. Therapy sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.

Online support
She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT, which breaks difficulties into thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT often includes practical exercises and simple experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mandy discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they choose methods that feel helpful. She adapts techniques over time so the plan stays relevant to changing needs.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging works for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, care responsibilities and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and clear next steps.
