About me
Hello, and thank you for taking a moment to visit my profile. My name is Mia and I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor passionate about supporting individuals through life's most difficult and complex experiences.
I specialise in working with adults affected by mental health challenges, childhood trauma and PTSD. Many of my clients come to me carrying invisible wounds from the past - experiences that continue to shape their relationships, emotions and sense of self. My aim is to provide a safe, compassionate space where those stories can be explored without judgement, and where healing feels possible.
As an In Integrative Therapist, I tailor my approach to suit you as an individual. Drawing from Person - Centred, psychodynamic and trauma - informed practices, I work collaboratively with you to understand how your past experiences influence your present and to gently process what may feel too heavy to carry alone.
I believe in the importance of building a genuine, trusting therapeutic relationship - one where you feel heard, valued and supported at your own pace. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, flashbacks or difficulties in relationships, I offer tools to help ground and empower you as we navigate those experiences together.

Reaching out for support takes courage, and if you 're reading this, you have already made an important first step. I offer a free initial consultation where we can talk about what brings you here, and what you hope to gain from counselling, and whether we'd be a good fit to work together.
If this resonates with you, I would love to hear from you.
Warm regards, Mia

Further information
After previously working with teenagers and young people in education and mental health I decided to retrain as a counsellor as I identified an increasing need for therapeutic intervention with my clients and the sometimes life changing and positive impact this had on individuals. I do pride myself in my natural ability to build up a positive rapport with my clients, while being able to offer a safe, non - judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. Together, we will work towards greater self - awareness, resilience and positive change. If this is the support you are looking for, I invite you to take the first step towards a more balanced and fulfilling life. Feel free to reach out - I am here to listen.
Testimonials:- " With Mia's support, I realised that it was OK to feel the way I did about my Mum's dementia and how that impacted on our relationship and my life and our family dynamics overall. With her help I was also able to work on the increasing guilt I felt at needing and wanting time for myself away from the increasing caring responsibilities for my mum and support for my father, who was struggling also. When counselling ended, I felt more like the old me, confident in my decisions and able to work on my career, which had been on hold since my mums diagnosis".
"After a session with Mia I feel so much lighter and that I am able to breathe".
