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 Counselling Philosophy

Collaboration

Safety and Trust

Safety and Trust

I aim to create a space where you will feel seen, heard, and valued. Collaboration is at the heart of my approach — I believe that meaningful change happens when we work together, co-creating a therapeutic process that honours your unique needs, goals, and pace.

Safety and Trust

Safety and Trust

Safety and Trust

Creating a foundation of safety and trust is essential in my work. I strive to cultivate an environment where you can explore even the most vulnerable parts of your experiences without fear of judgment or pressure. Safety is not just about emotional comfort, but about recognizing each client's need to feel secure in their body, boundaries, and identity.

Empowerment

Empowerment

Counselling isn’t just about working through the difficult moments — it’s also about reconnecting with your strengths, resilience, and inner wisdom. Together, we’ll explore what feels important to you, always at your own pace.
