About me
Hello, and warm welcome. I'm Minna, an experienced and fully qualified Counsellor and Energy Medicine therapist based in Cardiff. I offer Counselling and Energy healing, either combined or on their own. I find that these two therapies compliment each other.
I am dedicated to helping individuals overcome their challenges and lead fulfilling lives. My calm, compassionate and empathic nature creates a supportive and caring environment for growth, change and self-discovery.
Counselling can be a deeply healing process, where you can identify old patterns of behaviour and thinking that no longer serve you and reconnect with the deeper sense of who you are and who you are becoming.
Beyond my training and professional experience, I also draw upon my own life journey in my practise. My personal experiences with various life's challenges have deepened my empathy and the ability to hold the therapeutic space for you where you feel accepted, heard and understood.
As an integrative counsellor I draw from various humanistic theoretical approaches like person centred, gestalt, psychodynamic and some CBT aspects along with the use of creative tools to aid in therapeutic exploration, all suit you and your needs. The most important aspect of my therapy practise is the relationship co-created between the therapist and client.

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.

I offer a reduced rate for student counsellors completing their hours for a counselling course.
I do have some reduced cost places available for those on benefit or low income, which I am happy to discuss prior to starting counselling.
It is important to find the right therapist who you would feel at ease and comfortable with. That is why I offer a free 15 minute telephone chat, where we can explore your needs and see how I can best support you and also answer any questions you may have.
After our informal chat you are not under any pressure to continue counselling with me. I recommend to spend some time to find the right counsellor for you, whether it is me or someone else.
Please drop me an email to check my availability. I aim to reply messages within 48 hrs. I am looking forward hearing from you.
