Counselling and psychotherapy
At Healing Minds Studio, each session is designed to support you as a whole person—mind, body, emotions, and life context. My approach integrates evidence-based psychological therapies with holistic techniques to help you move through grief, anxiety, life transitions, and identity shifts with clarity and compassion.
Whether you’re navigating loss, overwhelm, hormonal changes, ADHD challenges, or simply feeling stuck, our work together focuses not only on healing the past but also on actively shaping your future.
What We Can Work On
Grief and loss (including ambiguous loss and life transitions)
Anxiety, stress and nervous system dysregulation
Adult ADHD (late diagnosis, executive functioning, emotional regulation)
Perimenopause & menopause adjustment
Postpartum depression and identity changes after birth
Life direction, purpose, and future visioning
Confidence, boundaries, and self-worth
Big Ideas, Real Impact.
My Approach
Research-Informed Therapy
Our sessions draw on established psychological models such as
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Emotion-focused approaches
Strength-based and solution-focused frameworks
ADHD-informed executive functioning strategies
Trauma-aware nervous system regulation practices
I tailor interventions to your individual needs—there is no “one size fits all.”
Adult ADHD
Many adults—especially women—are diagnosed later in life. We may work on:
Emotional regulation
Rejection sensitivity
Time management and planning systems
Shame reduction and identity repair
Strength-based reframing
Perimenopause & Menopause
Hormonal shifts can impact mood, cognition, sleep, and anxiety. Therapy may include:
Psychoeducation about the hormonal impact on mental health
Anxiety regulation tools
Identity and life stage transitions
Confidence and boundary rebuilding
Postpartum Depression
A compassionate space to explore:
Identity changes
Grief for former self
Overwhelm and guilt
Relationship shifts
Reconnecting to yourself beyond motherhood
Grief & Anxiety Support
Grief is not something to fix. It is something to move with.
In grief and anxiety work, we:
Create emotional safety
Process loss gently and at your pace
Reduce nervous system hyperarousal
Develop coping strategies grounded in research
Build meaning and integrate the experience into your life story
Future-Focused Work: Creating a New Chapter
Healing is not only about understanding your past — it’s about consciously shaping what comes next.
We may explore:
Values clarification
Identity reconstruction
Goal mapping and future self visualisation
Behavioural activation and habit redesign
Narrative therapy techniques
Rewriting limiting beliefs
You are not defined by what has happened to you.
You are capable of building a different future.
Meditation & Full Body Scan Integration
As a qualified meditation coach, I can integrate guided practices into your session, including:
Nervous system grounding techniques
Breathwork for anxiety
Full body scan meditation
Mindfulness-based emotional regulation
Visualisation practices for future self development
Compassion-based meditation
These techniques help shift therapy from purely cognitive work into embodied change.
What a Session May Look Like

Future-oriented reflection or intention setting
Each session is collaborative, gentle, and paced to your comfort.
My Philosophy
I believe:
You are not broken
Symptoms are adaptive responses
Your nervous system can learn safety again
Change is possible at any stage of life
Healing and growth can happen simultaneously
This is a space where your experiences are validated, your strengths are recognised, and your future is actively shaped
