About me

Maina Counselling in Hitchin



I live in North Hertfordshire with my family and our dog, Oreo. When I'm not busy exploring the local woods with them, I support clients at my private practice in Hitchin.


I worked in the NHS as a nurse for over a decade before starting my counselling training. It was my professional and personal experiences that lead me into becoming a counsellor. 


During the training I had counselling sessions and experienced first-hand how transformative those sessions were. It helped me to feel less overwhelmed during challenging times and manage my feelings better. 


I understand it can be challenging to reach out when you're struggling and it is important to find the right counsellor for you. That's why I provide a free 20 minutes phone call, so you can ask me any questions you might have and I can find out more about what you would like from counselling and what your needs are.


My philosophy:

We all have needs to connect with others, explore our sense of selves and understand our own feelings and reactions. We are more likely to thrive and enjoy our life if we feel understood, accepted and cared for by others.


I offer a warm, open-minded and empathic approach which aims to create a space that supports you in developing insight and change.
