About me
Hi, I’m Mindi
"Mindi saved my life. I was in a very dark place and did not want to carry on. She turned my life around after just one session."
C.K.
I provide a safe, supportive, and confidential space where you can be truly heard, explore your thoughts and feelings, and take steps toward understanding and positive change. With experience supporting adults and young people since 1997, I combine professional counselling with approaches such as NLP, Transformational Life coaching, and Bach Flower Remedies, tailoring sessions to your individual needs. I also offer support for people living with long-term health conditions, helping you manage the emotional impact, build confidence, and feel less isolated.
"I have now completed six weeks of counselling with Mindi, I found this service to be hugely valuable in helping me to refocus and talk about several tragic events which had happen to me over this year, I was able to return back to work after having six weeks sick. I was a mess in the first two sessions, but after that, with Mindi's excellent counselling skills I was able to make sense of a things. I believe if your service had not been available, I would have been off work a great deal longer."
Dorset C.C.
Before I started NLP my difficult childhood would always be simmering beneath the surface. If certain aspects were talked about, among my siblings, it could be very upsetting.
NLP
"I had NLP, it was nothing short of life changing. I put things where they needed to be and just let go. I am able to talk now without the terrible deep emotions. My family noticed this straight away.
I couldn't believe that something that took so little time could have such a massive impact.
I wish that I had NLP years ago. I know that my childhood experience not only affected me but also how I brought up my children. I have recommended NLP to several people because I know it works."
Dorset client all sessions via zoom calls
I often work alongside my small dog, Twiggy, whose calm and gentle presence helps create a relaxed and comforting atmosphere, making it easier for clients to feel at ease and open during sessions. Together, we’ll explore patterns, challenges, and opportunities in your life, empowering you to gain clarity, reconnect with your authentic self, and create meaningful, lasting change. Whether you’re facing stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, work stress or simply seeking personal growth, I’m here to walk alongside you, at your pace, with understanding, warmth, and professionalism.
What I Offer
- Counselling: A safe, confidential space to explore your thoughts, feelings, relationships, and life experiences at your own pace, without judgment.
- Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP): Practical, solution-focused techniques to notice and shift thought patterns, overcome unhelpful habits, reduce anxiety, and build confidence.
- Transformational Life Coaching: Support for inside-out change, helping you reconnect with your authentic self, release limiting beliefs, and create meaningful, lasting transformation in all areas of life.
- Support for Chronic Health Conditions: Empathy, practical strategies, and emotional guidance for living with conditions such as IBD, IBS, fibromyalgia, F.N.D. or other long-term illnesses, helping you feel less isolated and more empowered.
Animals in the Room: Twiggy, my small dog, offers a calm and comforting presence, helping clients feel relaxed, safe, and supported. - Complementary Approaches: Bach Flower Remedies to support emotional wellbeing where appropriate.
I believe in counselling which is a talking therapy. I do my utmost to provide a safe and relaxing space for my clients. I am not here to advise but to listen and assist you in exploring your feelings and finding a way forwards which is right for you. My counselling is very person centred and individual, every client has different needs.
I am able to offer face to face counselling, NLP or Life coaching which means my client will come to my work place. Telephone counselling for those who prefer to talk without a screen and Zoom counselling which a number of my clients like if they live a distance away or just because they prefer working that way. Zoom has proved useful for clients with a disability or illness too. . Sometimes clients feel safer to start with video call counselling and move on to face to face counselling later.
During the pandemic most of my clients worked via zoom and some by phone. I think many people, contrary to expectation have found that Zoom calls have worked really well for them. Zoom it seems has more advantages than people anticipated. For many people it has been less stressful to work from their own home or to take an hour out of work time in their place of work without having to take extra time off to travel to an appointment . Some have found it easier to just turn on their phone or computer and connect with Zoom in the comfort of a space they feel comfortable in. I am confident that Zoom has proved itself to be a huge asset in my counselling practice and I will definitely continue to offer zoom and phone counselling. It also means that clients can work from anywhere in the county and therefore have more choice
I am passionate about my work and I enjoy watching my clients grow in confidence and becoming happier in their daily lives.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
