Over the years I've been trusted by families navigating anxiety, friendship struggles, low confidence and big emotions. Here's what some of them have shared about working together.

The positive impact on our daughter and family is immeasurable
Our daughter was having a challenging time with friendships at school as well as anger issues at home. She is one of four children. Mina spent time with my wife and I to really understand the issues and how she could best help. After each online session with our daughter, Mina would share a comprehensive voice note explaining what was covered and tips for us at home. A year on, the positive impact on our daughter and us as a family is immeasurable. Friendships have blossomed as she's entered secondary school, and home life is significantly calmer. We're incredibly grateful and can't recommend her highly enough.

Mina's sessions are about who our child is and her place in the world
Our daughter has been doing sessions with Mina for a little less than a year and we've seen great improvement in her ability to recognise her own emotions, to talk about them and, when needed, to manage them. Conversations about how we feel are now happening more often. The sessions have given her another layer of confidence in expressing her art and personality. What we really appreciate is that it's not about making a diagnosis or labelling, but about who she is and her place in the world. Mina is a great support to her development.

Mina has a way with children
Our daughter was facing low confidence and self-esteem issues due to friendship dynamics and bullying at school, and I'd never thought of therapy for an eight-year-old. Since finding Mina our lives have changed. My daughter opened up right away and has evolved into a much more confident girl. Mina gave our entire family tools to help. Her recap notes were detailed and taught me so much about my daughter as a person. Our daughter truly looked forward to her sessions, as Mina is extremely warm, inviting and approachable.

Mina has enabled our son to regain his confidence and excel in school
My son needed help to regain his confidence at school. The new teacher demanded a lot and showed very little patience or warmth, and his confidence was smashed. After our initial consultation we decided to use Mina's services, and we've never looked back. Her calm yet focused approach has enabled him to not only regain his confidence but also perform at school. His progress reports, and the teacher's positive feedback, are proof that the sessions paid off.

The parent session really helped me feel more confident and calm
My son was showing some behaviours that were worrying us. He would get very angry and throw toys. We sought out an expert like Mina for guidance and support. Overall, he's been much better emotionally about school and managing his emotions at home. It's such a lovely feeling seeing him back to his normal self and enjoying school again. Her parent session and advice really helped me feel more confident and calm — thank you so much Mina!

Mina knows how to build children's trust and make things fun
Mina did a wonderful job working with my daughter through some trying times with friendships. She empowered her to navigate social challenges. Mina knows how to build children's trust, as well as make things fun and engaging so that they open up. Through interactive activities and playful techniques, she skilfully draws out their thoughts and emotions without them feeling pressured.

I recommend Mina to all parents
Mina was recommended to us by a friend whose daughter she had helped. Our son was going through a rocky patch at school. From the outset, Mina provided him with a safe space to explore his thoughts, navigate complex feelings and understand the dynamics of his friendships. For us as parents, it was a relief to have a professional guide us with practical strategies tailored to our son's needs. I recommend her to any parent who'd like outside support to help their child thrive in the inevitable tricky patches of growing up.

Our daughter manages her feelings so much better
We engaged Mina's services to help our daughter, who was extremely jealous of her younger brother and had fits of extreme anger. Through her sessions, and ours, we learnt to give our daughter more space, and she learnt to control her emotions better, helping all family relationships. Thank you Mina!

We are all getting along better
Thanks to our parent session with Mina, our daughter's behaviour has improved significantly as we're better equipped to read the situation and her emotions. Of course, we still have a few tantrums here and there, but overall we are all getting along better. We're grateful for the tips she taught us and would like to extend our gratitude to her.

Mina's support transformed our son's emotional well-being
We're really grateful to Mina for her invaluable support for our son, who was struggling with emotional regulation. She's amazing at interacting with children and making a trusting connection so they're able to relax and open up. I found her parent session so helpful, and appreciated the text support too — after a tough morning I sent her an emotional voice note and Mina promptly sent a reassuring one back. I loved how she tailored the sessions to our son's interests. It was very creative! Thank you so much Mina!
