A holistic approach to counselling and therapy
Welcome to Minds and Bodies
You might be here because you’re feeling lost, lonely, sad or ashamed. You might want to make sense of what you’re experiencing or feeling or you might be in search of a compassionate witness to your story. Whether it’s support in healing from past trauma or dealing with what’s going on in your life right now I can provide a space for you to explore and respectfully accompany you on your unique journey.
Who I am
Hi. I’m Angela (she/her). I am a qualified, accredited and trauma informed counsellor based in Carlisle, Cumbria. I have 11 years of counselling experience and an additional 20 years of experience supporting people of all ages in a variety of settings. This has included working in schools, nurseries, residential units, local counselling charities and for Cumbria County Council. I have completed training to Intermediate Level 1 in Somatic Experiencing and I am Internal Family Systems Informed.
A vital part of my self development and learning has been as a client in a therapeutic setting. Sharing my private thoughts and feelings with a professional and experiencing the vulnerability that comes with that highlighted for me the importance of a respectful, non-judgemental and compassionate therapy space.
What I offer
I provide long and short term therapy for adults and young people age 13 and over. Sessions usually last 50 minutes, are one to one and can be arranged at a frequency that works for you.
The session content will be tailored around your specific requirements and we will work at your pace.
I offer online sessions via email, instant messenger, voice and video calls with limited face to face sessions.
Confidentiality is of the utmost priority to me and I work in line with GDPR and select the safest platforms available for any online work.
I support the Drop the Disorder movement and I am gender, sexuality and relationship diversity affirmative and kink knowledgeable.
