About Wanda

Wanda Hagan is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems and depression. Wanda also supports those dealing with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image, chronic illness or pain, and other related difficulties.

Wanda uses clear, evidence-based methods to help people manage upsetting thoughts and strong emotions. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that keep problems going. She encourages straightforward conversation about what is working and what needs to change.

Many clients come with problems tied to relationships, loss, or overwhelming worry. Wanda often helps them notice repeated cycles in thinking and behaviour, learn ways to reduce anxiety, and rebuild healthier ways of relating. She also addresses issues such as panic attacks, phobias, obsessions and compulsions, jealousy, infidelity and the fallout from separation.

Her work includes helping people navigate the emotional side of long-term health conditions, the practical and emotional impacts of adoption or foster care, and recovery after traumatic events. Sessions aim to make stressful problems more manageable and to build everyday routines that support better sleep, mood and focus.

Wanda offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Wanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and problem-solving. Cognitive-style work helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practise different ways of responding to worry and low mood. Behavioural approaches look at changing routines and small habits that affect sleep, mood and anxiety, so daily life feels less overwhelming.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to try approaches, review what helps, and adjust the plan to suit goals and preferences rather than insisting on a single way of working.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around study, shifts or travel, reduce time spent commuting, and often allows for shorter check-ins when life is busy. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques so practical tasks and exercises are still possible when working remotely, helping people build routines and coping strategies that transfer into everyday life.
