Counselling
Getting to the depth of a situation with love and understanding
Counselling with Midi
I qualified in Progressive Counselling in 1995 after receiving counselling myself to help overcome an emotional trauma in my late teens which was still resonating in me so many years on and affecting much of my life and relationships. The freedom I felt and the re-connection to myself I experienced following progressive counselling was a deeply spiritual and life enriching process, and the catalyst for me to train myself so that I could help others. Since then, I have continued training in Trauma Therapy (PgDip Trauma) and Emotional Freedom Technique (Level 2), as well as Equine Assisted Personal Development.
I was drawn to the description of Progressive Counselling as being ‘an intuitive art, requiring a great depth of wisdom, understanding and unconditional love’. The rewards were incredible, not only did my own intuition develop and grow, I was able to help people at a much greater depth of awareness and this is the way I work with clients; getting to the depth and truth of a situation with love and understanding.
Progressive Counselling can be described as touching the spiritual essence of a person as well as the mental, emotional and physical levels. It helps you to connect to your innate sense of who you are and find self-alignment and self-understanding. I support you to come out of the analytical head and into a more heart based, intuitive place within. I work in a somatic and spiritual way, helping you access your body’s inner wisdom, and connect to a sense of a greater connection with the wholeness of life.
Without being aware of it, we can become separated from ourselves, living in the head and disconnected from our hearts. Difficult experiences and traumas that happen to us can cause us to disconnect from our feelings and intuition as a way of protection, but this also disconnects us from feeling the joy of life and the deeper meaning of our lives. Although we can intellectually understand a situation, progressive counselling can help you to access a higher level of internal truth by fully connecting to the wisdom of your intuition. As we work together, there is often a very big shift in the way you view the circumstances that first led you to counselling. You are able to gain clarity and move forward in your life. This is progressive counselling.
I work with both short term issues, which may only need a few sessions to resolve, as well as long term issues, which may take a number months of commitment to regular sessions to work through. Combining counselling with the equine facilitated sessions can be a lovely way to work through long held or traumatic issues.
I am often asked what sort of things can counselling and / or equine facilitated sessions help with, and the answer is simpler than people may expect because the idea of the sessions is to support you to connect to you own inner knowing, to find your own answers and therefore anything can be helped: from past trauma, bereavement, relationship difficulties, tackling life after divorce, depression, anxiety, finding your life direction, to fully embracing your life’s potential.

“I approached Midi with a loose intention of re visiting my fear when riding my horses.
Through recognition and deep discussion it became very clear there were past events personal to me that required some attention.
Midi has made me realise my past was not my fault and taught me how to empower myself again.
I feel like a completely new person, and have a foundation now to keep building on, both with life itself and of course my horses.
You’ve brought me closer to both the horses and my family, and there’s no amount if gratitude for that.”
“I’ve worked with Midi as my therapist for several years, and have always felt safe and supported.
Which one would expect from anyone in a therapeutic role, but Midi brings levels of depth and space-holding which are truly effective.
She brings her self, without allowing that to take over or get in the way. I always feel heard and valued.
Questioning and deep exploration are encouraged where appropriate, with good care taken when challenges and raw emotions surface.
Midi also inspires by example, by continuing to develop her practice, and she encourages me to lengthen my stride and step out of my comfort zone.
For example, I’d never have thought I would attend an equine residential retreat in Spain and I have just signed up for the third year running. I owe Midi a great deal of thanks”.
