Having worked with her since last Autumn she's helped me hugely in processing grief and also in recognising and dealing with anxiety at work and in general.

Parent Of AÂ Client With OCD And Anxiety - November 2022
"I started seeing Cecilia about 7 weeks ago now and the improvement with my anxiety and understanding of my anxiety has completely changed! She was so welcoming and made me feel comfortable instantly. I was suffering extremely with panic attacks and we worked through understanding how panic attacks happens and ways to think in a different way to have a new approach towards my panic attacks. I know that maybe taking the first step to start therapy can be intimidating but i cant recommend minding you enough. It created a safe and calm place for me to help myself get better. I can now say anxiety and panic attacks is something i now know how to deal with and it’s no longer in control of me thanks to all of her help and support."
