About
Hi, I'm Milena — the psychotherapist behind Bluemind Counselling
I trained at the University of Strathclyde and completed a placement with Cruse Bereavement Care, where 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, along with extensive training in infant loss, perinatal and postnatal support.
I currently work with Health Assured as an EAP counsellor. I am passionate about supporting people's mental health and their journeys with and beyond grief.
Before becoming a counsellor I worked in the music and events industry — a depth of experience I bring to my role as counsellor. I look forward to hearing from you.
Who I work with
Adults experiencing all types of grief and facing mourning:
- a loss or death
- a life-limiting diagnosis or health condition
- a divorce or the ending of a long-term relationship
- reproductive and fertility challenges
- expat and immigration circumstances
- a change of role or identity — children moving out, caring for an ageing parent
- estrangement
My approach
I trained in person-centred psychotherapy. I approach counselling with the belief that each of us carries the capacity to overcome challenges and heal. At times, we may need a steady presence and guidance alongside us to help. I help people hear their own hearts, explore their truth and meaning.
I am also well-versed in solution-focused brief therapy, and my work is grounded in evidence-based, trauma-informed practice.
I believe recovery can be felt most through the therapeutic relationship between person and counsellor. I offer a relationship where we can go beneath the surface, gently encouraging meaningful reflection and supporting your therapy goals.
