About Wanda

Wanda Hagan is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, sleep problems and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Wanda uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and tackle everyday problems. She encourages clear conversation about what is troubling a person and works with them to set realistic goals. The emphasis is on straightforward strategies and manageable steps rather than jargon or lengthy theory.

Her background includes work with people affected by adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and long-term health issues such as chronic pain or illness. She also supports those dealing with communication problems, divorce and separation, and issues like guilt, shame or jealousy.

Wanda has experience addressing more specific difficulties such as obsessions and compulsions, panic attacks, phobias, first responder issues, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. She introduces practical tools to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

People who begin with Wanda usually complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to check current session options before booking.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Wanda draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on symptom reduction and practical change. Cognitive-based strategies are used to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can reduce anxiety, panic and depressive symptoms. Behavioural techniques break problems into small, manageable steps such as sleep routine changes or graded exposure for phobias or panic.

She also uses problem-solving and skills-based work to improve communication and coping. These approaches focus on teaching clear skills and rehearsing them in session so people can try them between meetings. Deciding which methods to use happens together; the therapist and client review needs, goals and preferences and then agree a plan that feels workable.

Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats here. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Discussing practicalities during the first appointment helps ensure sessions suit the person's schedule and technical setup.
