Bluemind counselling offers person-centred therapy to support you through all the different shades of grief, love and life.
About bluemind
Individual counselling for adults
Grief is confusing and can be very isolating. Loss and pain will always alter the course of our lives. From life-altering losses such as bereavement of family or friends; loss of health. To the everyday grief we don’t call grief, for example - life transitions i.e children leaving home, loss of identity, loss of financial security etc. Sometimes we can't talk to the close people around us about what our pain and loss feel like, sometimes, confiding in a professional can help.
Bluemind counselling provides a space of empathy and impartialness, with the hope that instead of burying complex grief, pain, trauma and love – you consider crying, laughing, thinking, and talking about your journey of being human. We will meet each emotion with kindness not judgement; with patience not dismissal.
We can work either online or in-person at The Consulting Rooms in Glasgow.
You can choose to meet weekly or forthnightly, either short-term (6-8 sessions) or long term (open-ended) depending on your needs. There are concession rates for those who need it - please get in touch, rates are mutually agreed upon contact.

Philosophy and approach
My name is Milena and I am the counsellor behind Bluemind.
My experience working with bereavement and grief began when I trained with Cruse Bereavement Care and met people from various age, gender and socio-economic groups.
Currently, I work as a Bereavement Practitioner at the Royal Hospital for Children.
Through my private practice Bluemind,
I continue to seek ways of supporting individuals on their unique paths of accepting what we cannot change or bring back.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Philosophy and approach
I work within the person-centred approach to counselling. This is a type of talking therapy, in which I help people explore their inner worlds, hear their own hearts, find truth and meaning in their lives.
We work collaboratively to place a strong emphasis on building a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship, where we can connect and understand your multi-layered experience.
I will not offer platitudes, nor sugar coat what you are experiecing. However when appropriate, I may offer carefully selected resources - literature, poems, art, music to support our reflection.
