Meet our therapist

My name is Asztrid, a dedicated Counsellor and Founder of Blooming Women Therapy. I am a qualified Person Centred Therapist with over three years experience in working with women from different backgrounds, ages and life struggles.

The journey for me began with an interest in mental health which grew into a deep passion for understanding the human experience and commitment to fostering personal growth and resilience. I also have an employment background in working with people living with learning challenges and also in adult homelessness settings.

My approach to counselling is rooted in empathy, active listening and a strong belief in the potential for change. I specialise in working with anxiety, depression, work related stress, relationship issues and trauma.

For me, persons centred counselling is stepped in the roots of Carl Rogers’ theory and and insight which resonate with me personally and which I’ve observed within one to one therapy based relationships. The four key principles of safety, belongingness, self-esteem and freedom are key to my chosen modality, which I ensure are underpinning all the work that I do. The ability to walk beside someone as we explore trauma in all it’s different forms is something that I commit and pledge to all clients.

In our session, you can expect a safe and non-judgemental space where you can express thoughts and feelings freely. I believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship is key to effective counselling and I am here to support you every step of the way.

If you are ready to explore the deeper levels of your experiences and gain insight into your behaviours, I invite you to reach out.
