Hi, I’m Stephanie, and welcome to Mentaliea 🌙

I’m a mum, a qualified counsellor, and a lifelong explorer of all things mind, body, and spirit. I completed my counselling qualification at Beverley College two years ago, but my passion for understanding people and helping them find their way through life’s twists and turns has been with me much longer than that.

My journey into counselling wasn’t exactly straightforward (whose is?). I thought I knew the type of work I wanted to do… until I found myself at The Trauma Centre. That’s where I began working with individuals who had experienced complex trauma, and it changed everything. It taught me that healing isn’t about having all the answers it’s about walking alongside someone, with empathy, patience, and honesty, while they find their own way forward.

I take a person-centred approach, meaning I work with you, not on you. There’s no judgment, no pressure, and definitely no rush. Sometimes, it takes a village and I’m here to be part of yours.

Alongside counselling, I’ve always been drawn to holistic therapies. I’m a qualified hypnotherapist and Reiki practitioner, and I believe in the power of blending traditional and alternative approaches to support your overall wellbeing.

Outside of my professional world, I have a bit of a supernatural streak 👻 I’ve been known to go on the odd ghost hunt or overnight vigil, and I’ll never say no to having my cards read!

Most recently, I’ve trained and qualified with Align Mediation, which marks an exciting new chapter in my journey helping people find understanding and resolution in yet another way.

If you’re curious, have questions, or simply want to see if we’d be a good fit, please reach out. I’d love to hear from you.
