About Mandy Saligari
Therapist, Author, Public Speaker
MBACP(accred) MSc
Mandy Saligari is a distinguished therapist, published author, and prominent media contributor, with a strong presence across television, press, and radio. She is the founder of London’s first private outpatient clinic specialising in addiction treatment, and has been a leading voice in the field since entering it following her own rehab experience in 1990.
Over the past three decades, Mandy has become known for her clinical insight and the real, lasting outcomes she achieves with her clients. She is the author of the Amazon bestselling Proactive Parenting (Orion), and has featured in multiple television series including In Therapy and Violent Child, Desperate Parents, reflecting her commitment to challenging how we understand and respond to mental health and behaviour.
Following her recovery from cancer, Mandy now runs a busy clinical practice alongside psychotherapist Marie Claire Prust, supported by a trusted referral network of respected colleagues. She works directly with individuals, couples, and families who are seeking answers and ready for change—“where the sandpaper meets the wood”—offering one-off assessments, ongoing private sessions, and group therapy, both online and in person globally.
A compelling speaker and clinician, Mandy is renowned for her engaging, direct approach to relationships and self-defeating patterns of behaviour. Her work places strong emphasis on family dynamics, helping clients develop the tools to communicate with clarity, dignity, and respect, and to create meaningful, sustainable change in their lives.
