About Kind Minds Counselling
My Mission
At Kind Minds Counselling, my mission is to provide compassionate and tailored support for young people facing life's challenges. I believe in fostering resilience and empowering youth to navigate their unique journeys.
About Kind Minds Counselling
Kind Minds Counselling offers kind, approachable, and empathetic support tailored especially for young people. With experience working in both primary and secondary schools, I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges today’s youth face—such as school refusal, transitioning between schools, navigating friendships, fitting in, and dealing with peer pressure.
At Kind Minds, I work collaboratively with young people to set meaningful goals and develop practical strategies to support their emotional wellbeing. I understand how busy life can be for carers, which is why I offer flexible options, including in-school sessions for added convenience and Zoom sessions for those who prefer online support. Working remotely also allows me to keep my services more affordable, ensuring quality support is accessible when it’s needed most.
About Me
I hold a Diploma in Counselling – Mental Health, which has provided me with a strong foundation in evidence-based therapeutic practices, emotional wellbeing, and mental health support. My training equips me to work compassionately and effectively with a wide range of issues that young people face today.
In addition to my formal qualifications, I bring valuable real-world experience from working in both primary and secondary school settings. This has given me a deep, practical understanding of the challenges children and adolescents face in today’s school environments—including school refusal, social pressures, transitions between year levels, friendship issues, and behavioural concerns
