Self Assured Mind Therapy

A caring, professional and friendly approach to counselling

Here at Self Assured Mind Therapy, I am deeply committed to providing effective and compassionate counseling services, designed to support clients of all ages through a diverse spectrum of personal challenges. I understand that life can present us with moments of difficulty, and I am here to offer a safe and supportive space for you to navigate those times. As a proud member of the National Counselling Society and the Hypnotherapy Society, I uphold the highest standards of professional practice. I possess the expertise and experience to address a wide array of personal issues, offering both short-term interventions for immediate support and long-term therapies for deeper, more sustained change.


Individuals seek counseling for a multitude of reasons, each as unique as the person seeking help. While counselling can provide a platform to discuss any concern, I recognise that each individual's journey is unique, and tailor my therapeutic approach to meet your specific needs.


In today's interconnected world, I understand the importance of accessibility and flexibility. That's why I offer counselling services both in person and online, allowing you to access support from anywhere. Recognising the challenges posed by the current global landscape and the need to adhere to government guidelines, I have seamlessly transitioned to providing telephone and video conference-based counselling sessions. Using secure platforms like Zoom, I ensure that you can still experience the intimacy and connection of face-to-face counselling, all from the comfort and safety of your own environment. I am dedicated to providing uninterrupted support, empowering you to prioritise your mental well-being regardless of your location or circumstances.
