Danusia Mulligan Dip Couns MBACP MNCS (Accred)
About me
I run a successful private practice and I've helped many clients with challenges such as general anxiety, panic attacks, stress, depression, family and relationship problems, identity issues as well as loss.
Counselling can be a helpful, supportive and empowering experience. It offers a safe, supportive and confidential space for you to talk about your emotions and feelings without fear of being judged or criticised. Therapy can help you to identify unhelpful behaviour and thought patterns so that you may find realistic solutions to your current difficulties. Talking about your problems can also help lessen feelings of hopelessness and isolation too.
I am an experienced therapist that offers short or long-term face to face or on-line support. Building a strong and empathetic therapeutic relationship in which my clients feel safe, valued and understood to is central to my practise. I hope that by working alongside one another at an appropriate pace we can safely explore what's holding you back and why.
