Sessions and Timing 

Sessions are currently online, at the same time and day every week. I offer counselling from Monday to Friday, during the daytime and evening between 8am - 8pm. However, if you work shift patterns I am happy to discuss a more flexible schedule.

Hi, I’m Mim (she/her). I’m a psychotherapist and counsellor based in the UK, currently working online.

I am passionate about therapy. I know the power of feeling heard, understood and the relief that we are not alone. Whether you decide to work with me or someone else - do reach out for support. You deserve to be treated with dignity and respect and to feel confident and in control of your circumstances.

My Approach

I use an integrative approach to therapy using a variety of techniques including: Psychodynamic psychotherapy, Person-centred, Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness.

I like to provide a variety of different approaches to help you better understand yourself.

Going to counselling can feel scary but also like a breath of fresh air. It can sometimes feel difficult to let go of the beliefs and behaviours that are detrimental – as they are familiar and it can feel daunting to let go of what is known. However, can you imagine how much better your life could be if you felt free from the weight of carrying around such harmful thoughts and behaviours? Let’s work together so you can find a way to live more freely.

I have experience working with:

Relationship issues

Stress

Life transitions

Family dynamics

Depression

Anxiety

Self harm

Anger

Suicide and suicidal thoughts

Trauma

Sexual trauma

Our mental health is so important, it affects not just our mind but our bodies. Our emotions, our relationships with others and yourself. It can feel overwhelming to choose to help yourself, but you are not alone. I can help you move forward with compassion for yourself and your experiences.

You are not broken; you do not need fixing. Rather, the better we understand our past, our behaviours and thoughts, the better we can grow in every aspect of our lives, from how we see ourselves, to our relationships with those around us.

I provide bespoke therapy for individuals on a weekly basis.

Therapy is about understanding YOU. We are unique, wonderful, messy human beings. Therapy can sometimes feel uncomfortable and challenging but it offers you a safe place to explore the past,  thought processes and behaviours and help you move forward with compassion for yourself.

We will mostly utilise talking therapy but you may also find other tools that resonate with you or your circumstances which can be helpful. We each learn and grow in a variety of different ways. The sessions are there for you to really explore who you are. We go to therapy for many different reasons and you do not have to be at rock bottom to go. Everyone can benefit from therapy.

Assessment

I offer an initial online/phone assessment for 30 minutes for £30. This gives us a chance to talk with each other and to see what you would like to focus on in our sessions together, as well as if you would like to work with me. 

We also discuss the boundaries of therapy and what you can expect from working with me. You are under no obligation to work with me.

If you have any questions, please do contact me.

Cost of weekly counselling:

Sessions cost £60 for a weekly 50 minute session.
