I have only spoken to Mignon once (this is due to my commitments) and within a few minutes I felt relaxed and able to talk freely with no pressure to engage. By the end of the session I knew that she fully understood my 'issues' and where I needed help and that she will be able to help me work through these.

I have been with Mignon since September 2024. My sessions with her have been invaluable in ways that are hard to fully express in order to do her justice. I am in a much better place. My relationship with myself and the most important persons in my life are improving. I consider myself lucky to have found Mignon on my first try with Betterhelp as I know others have a harder time with the platform and their chosen therapists. The only regret I have with Mignon is that I found her only now. I wish I started therapy with her years earlier.
More about Mignon
- 10 years' experience

- BACP
I am a BACP Accredited trauma-informed counsellor. I integrate attachment-focused EMDR Therapy alongwith a range of humanistic modalities in my work with clients. More than my educational qualifications (BA Hons, BACP Accredited training in Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling), my lived experience of adverse childhood experience supported by personal therapy, counselling training, supervision and continuing professional development enable me to draw from the knowledge and understanding of psychological theories that also bring a large helping of empathy to my counselling work.
I am a UK based counsellor. My counselling work is supported by professional memberships to the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling Society (NCS)
My original training was BACP Accredited Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling. My training included a focus on Humanistic (Person-Centred therapy), Psychodynamic (Attachment theory, TA, Gestalt, Inner child work), Transpersonal (Mindfulness) and Behavioural (CBT) modalities. Since my training, I have trained in EMDR Therapy and engaged in CPD Accredited Training in Pluralistic Therapy, Bereavement training, NLP Practitioners Training, Outdoor Therapy, Understanding Domestic Violence and Abuse Levels 1 & 2 that inform my reflexive practice.
My current practice is based on my original integrative training and I also seek to engage the client in the here and now on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels, combining EMDR Therapy with psychodynamic and values-based, pluralistic, person-centred modalities in an integrative way, that is within the client's best interest. I believe that the collaborative client process is central to my therapeutic work, taking the lead from the client, driven both by individual client relationships and theory.
I normally work with any issues that the client brings into each session, particularly those listed in my specialities section. My therapeutic perspective is based on an understanding of clients as unique, non-standardised individuals whose needs and wants are likely to be heterogeneous and unpredictable. As an integrative therapist, I am open to an appreciation of the many different approaches that a client may benefit from in therapy and I orientate my work towards the client’s goals and methods of therapy. In this way, I can tailor the therapy to the client. Some person-centred interventions I might use are as simple as acknowledging and validating a client's feelings and experiences.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I have journeyed with Mignon for several months now and she is a pillar in my personal journey. She listens intently and has a large reservoir of knowledge and experience to draw upon to help me see and understand better. She is able to discern my challenges and blind spots even from things I have not said and help me to see to the root of my challenges. I sense that my own journey one that will require continuous personal work and I am grateful to have Mignon on my side to help me see better in order for me to execute on my own life better.
My therapist is kind, polite, and incredibly clear when explaining the process. Here’s why she stands out: - Kindness: Creates a warm and supportive environment. - Politeness: Treats clients with utmost respect. - Clear Explanation: Breaks down complex concepts. In summary, her kindness, politeness, and clarity have been key in my healing journey.
I couldn't have been happier with the counselling that I received from Mignon. What I appreciated the most about her is her exemplary listening skills. She knew when to let me talk, and when to interject, and refocus me. Mignon was able to instill in me a much needed new mindset, which enabled me to see past traumas from a healthier perspective. With her help, I was able to forgive myself.
Mignon has been very very helpful for me. I initiated my Betterhelp service deciding I would just state my reasons for therapy as openly as I could. Betterhelp paired me up with Mignon. My first session with her was uncanny because I found myself wondering, “how does she know this about me?”. Then I realised that she had read everything I wrote on Betterhelp. I am into my 4th session now and the only problem with each session is that the time passes without me ever noticing. Mignon always pays attention and in doing so, demonstrates that she is developing a better and better understanding of me and what will likely help me. My confidence in her and my process increases with each session. I consider myself very lucky to have Mignon as my therapist and I am grateful both to her and to Betterhelp.
Mignon is a fantastic therapist and is highly professional. She has excellent expertise and instils confidence.
She is quite simply the very best!
I reached out for help after becoming a mum for the first time and struggling with this massive change in my life. Little did I known that there was more to it. Mignon was my guide and my shoulder for crying, after a bit over than 6 months with her guidance I feel much stronger and more capable dealing not only with my new role as a mum but with anything else life will bring me. Mignon is very professional yet warm person and I’m extremely grateful for her help in my healing journey. Definitely recommend her. Thanks again, Mignon.
Mignon helped me with my anxiety by patiently exploring my past and childhood experiences. Mignon is attentive and makes one feel comfortable to talk about anything under the sun. Her analysis is logical and very freeing. We used EMDR as one of the main tools in therapy and it has helped me immensely. While I understand that there is a lot of work that needs to be done, today I am a much more confident person because Mignon helped me overcome my need for validation. Thank you, Mignon
I realise I still have a long way to go but feel no w at least I have started the journey back to me
Mignon has helped me so much an im not even half way through my journey. I dont have the words to express how much I appreciate what she has done for me
Mignon is an excellent and very professional therapist who I would recommend to all.
Absolutely amazing, got me out of the gutter and got me back on track with a happy day to day life again
A good therapist
Mignon is a very kind and considerate person. She takes the time to understand your story and is very attentetive to the details. She is not afraid to phrase her point exactly how she needs to. I have every confidence that as my journey continues we will unfold all that we need to and she will provide me the tools that I need to understand myself and teach me and my emotions to cooperate and benefit ourselves in any given situation.
I’d like to start by saying how well BetterHelp matched me with Mignon, I was quite nervous at the beginning despite having therapy before but I knew it was because I would be delving into my past which I had kept locked away. Mignon really put me at ease and made me feel very comfortable, she was able to get me to really open up and help me see that all my negative thoughts were not who I am, that I can be in control, especially when it comes to setting boundaries even with family and knowing my limits. She reminded me that my anxiety and depression with never go away, but I can learn to notice the triggers and put those boundaries in place in order for me to manage my emotions better. I cannot thank Mignon enough for everything she did in our short time together, I would recommend her to everyone who is going through a hard time, however small they think it is.
She is great
