Yes. Mo Counselling is a Christian-based counselling and psychotherapy service, rooted in faith and grounded in the values reflected in Colossians 3:12:

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

This Scripture reflects the heart of Mo Counselling. The aim is to create a safe, warm and compassionate space where everyone feels heard, respected, valued and understood.

While Christian faith is at the foundation of Mo Counselling, the counselling and psychotherapy service is open to everyone

You do not need to be a Christian, or follow any particular faith or belief, to access support. Everyone is welcome, regardless of their background, beliefs or circumstances.

At the same time, Mo Counselling recognises that this approach to counselling and psychotherapy will not suit everyone. If a Christian-based service doesn’t feel right for you, that’s completely okay. Finding a therapist and approach that feels comfortable and right for you is important.

For those who do choose Mo Counselling, the commitment is to offer support with compassion, kindness, dignity, gentleness and patience as you navigate life’s challenges. 💜

Rewind Therapy is a therapeutic technique designed to help individuals process and overcome trauma, anxiety, phobias, and negative memories. It works by guiding you through a relaxation process and then "rewinding" the traumatic memory in a way that reduces its emotional impact.

This technique is quick, non-invasive, and doesn't require you to relive painful experiences in detail. It's often used for conditions like PTSD, phobias, and past trauma, providing fast relief and helping you feel more in control of your emotions.

If you're struggling with past experiences or overwhelming emotions, Rewind Therapy can be a gentle and effective way to regain peace and emotional balance.

Supervision offers trainee and qualified counsellors, as well as practitioners across a range of helping professions, an opportunity to step back from their work and reflect on their experiences, thoughts and feelings. It provides a supportive space to explore challenges, consider ethical questions, work through complex situations and develop confidence and professional skills.

Supervision offers a confidential, supportive space for trainee and qualified counsellors and practitioners to reflect on their work, explore challenges and develop their professional practice.

Sessions may include:

• Reflective Practice: Exploring experiences, feelings and responses.
• Professional Challenges: Discussing complex situations, boundaries and ethical dilemmas.
• Emotional Wellbeing: Recognising the impact of your work and maintaining balance.
• Confidence and Development: Strengthening skills, self-awareness and professional identity.
• Relationships and Communication: Reflecting on professional relationships and interpersonal challenges.
• Future Goals: Identifying learning needs and supporting ongoing development.

Supervision is guided by your needs, offering time to pause, reflect and gain fresh perspectives in a supportive, non-judgemental environment. You don't need to have all the answers or prepare a specific issue; simply bring whatever feels important to you.

Mentoring offers a space to focus on yourself, explore what matters to you and consider what you would like to work towards. It can support you with building confidence, recognising your strengths, navigating change and developing a clearer sense of direction.

I offer mentoring to young people and adults, adapting my approach to each person's individual needs and circumstances. You might be looking for support with confidence, personal development, everyday challenges or thinking about your next steps.

There is no expectation to have everything figured out. Mentoring is an opportunity to talk things through, explore your options and find a way forward that feels right for you.

Mentoring and therapy can both offer support with personal growth and wellbeing, but they have different focuses:

Mentoring tends to focus on your strengths, goals and the changes you would like to make. It can help you build confidence, explore possibilities and think about practical steps towards moving forward.

Therapy offers space to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences in more depth, helping you develop a greater understanding of yourself and work through emotional difficulties.

There can be some overlap between the two, but mentoring is not a replacement for therapy. The type of support that feels right for you will depend on your individual needs and what you would like help with.
