About me
As someone who has travelled through life feeling 'a bit different' and wanting to find my 'tribe', and I am here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth. At the heart of my practice is the development of a genuine and trusting therapeutic relationship-one in which you HEARD, VALUED and SUPPORTED at a pace that feels right for you. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, flashbacks or difficulties within relationships, i provide a safe and compassionate space, alongside practical tools and strategies, to help you to feel grounded, build resilience and navigate life's challenges with greater confidence. I do recognise that reaching out for support can be the hardest step, but you do not have to face your struggles alone. Together, we can explore your experiences, work towards meaningful change and healing where you reach a position of inner peace.

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.

Further information
After supporting teenagers and young people in education presenting with a variety of mental health issues and diversity, I felt strongly led to retrain as a counsellor so that I could support individuals more directly and in a deeper and more meaningful way. I take care to create a positive and comfortable and non - judgemental space where 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 any of this resonates with you, feel free to reach out and begin your journey towards a greater inner peace and wellbeing.
I look forward to hearing from you.
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".
" I’m feeling good about our sessions so far and think it is really helping me. Thank you for summarising them every week and sending some grounding techniques for me".
