Dr Mandy Walters

Please contact me to discuss availability.  I am currently offering online sessions.

Hi, I'm a Counselling Psychologist and Psychotherapist with over twenty years experience, currently working as a Senior Therapist and Joint Counselling Lead within the NHS, alongside my private practice. My aim is to help make a positive difference to your life, whether with managing challenging times, facing a specific life event or through developing self-awareness. I value the importance of a warm, supportive and non-judgemental therapeutic relationship, through which it is possible to explore difficult emotions, experiences and patterns of behaviours to reach a deeper understanding and move forward with new possibilities.

As an Integrative Counselling Psychologist and Psychotherapist, I draw upon a variety of psychological approaches such as CBT, psychodynamic and humanistic theories. These are tailored to suit the individual needs of each client. My experience includes working with individuals and couples, with a range of issues, such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and family issues.  I also have specialist experience within the perinatal period with pregnancy loss, birth trauma and postnatal depression. 

I value the importance of the therapeutic relationship to provide a safe space to explore together both past and present experiences and difficulties. It is through this exploration that it is possible for individuals to gain a greater understanding of themselves and then, together, find ways to move forward and bring about positive change. 

Please feel free to contact me if you have any queries or to arrange a free initial 30 minute consultation. This will give us a chance to meet, talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, and see how it feels to work together. 

I have over 20 years experience, working with adults in the NHS, charitable organisations and in private practice, with a range of issues, such as anxiety and depression. 

I am currently working in a primary care NHS service as a Senior Therapist and Joint Counselling Lead offering short term psychotherapy to individuals and couples.  In my NHS work I also specialised in perinatal mental health offering psychological support to individuals who have experienced, pregnancy loss, birth trauma and postnatal depression. 

In private practice I offer online psychological support to individuals and couples on a short term or long term basis.

The use of the title Dr in this directory listing relates to the member’s doctorate qualification. However, this does not imply a general medical qualification.

Making the first step towards getting help can be daunting, but knowing what to expect can help. Therapy takes place at a specific, mutually agreed time each week and each session lasts for 50 minutes. 

The initial sessions involve finding out more about you as a person, what is bringing you to therapy and what you hope to gain from coming. 

I offer a free initial 30 minute consultation which will give us a chance to meet and see how it feels to work together.  It also provides the opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have as you try to find the right therapist for you. 

Please contact me for availability.

Just as in my clinical work, I value the importance of the relationship between the supervisor and supervisee.  As such, supervision provides a supportive space for exploration, reflection and development of clinical skills to be able to work as effectively, safely and ethically as possible.

I am an Integrative Counselling Psychologist and Psychotherapist and I offer clinical supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists who are either in training or working towards accreditation or who have qualified and are working in clinical practice.

I offer an initial telephone conversation free of charge to give us the opportunity to speak and see if you would like to arrange a supervision session.
