My approach and counselling for grief:
Hi, I'm Milena! The counsellor and psychotherapist behind Bluemind Counselling.
I trained at Strathclyde University and had my placement with Cruse Bereavement Care. I became increasingly aware of the long-lasting impact a bereavement can have on someone. I gained further experience as a Bereavement Support Practitioner with the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow, and completed extensive training in infant loss, perinatal and postnatal support and reproductive health.
Prior to becoming a counsellor I have worked in the music & events industry - a depth of experience I bring to my role as counsellor.
I am currently working with Health Assured and CiC as an EAP counsellor. I continue to seek ways of supporting individuals on their paths with mental health and learning to carry what we cannot change.
I look forward to hearing from you.

My approach and counselling for grief:
At the heart of my approach is person-centred therapy, a humanistic approach to psychotherapy developed by psychologist Carl Rogers and colleagues. This is a type of talking therapy in which I help people explore their inner worlds, hear their own hearts, make sense of complex experiences, and recognise their truth and meaning. I am also well-versed in solution-focused brief therapy and I utilise trauma-informed techniques in my work with clients.
I believe recovery can be felt most through the therapeutic relationship between person and counsellor. I offer a relationship where we can meet and go beneath the surface, one that challenges you and supports you wholeheartedly at the same time.
In grief counselling, I offer pace and structure to process difficult or contradicting feelings. My aim is to help you find an anchor and navigate the waves of grief with more clarity and safety. I may offer carefully selected resources and techniques for coping and grounding.
