Welcome to New Mind Counselling and hypnotherapy
Mental Health support during life's transitions
My name is Shirleen. I am a registered counsellor, psychotherapist, and hypnotherapist with a background in nursing and midwifery. I particularly enjoy providing emotional support to women through all stages of pregnancy (including infertility and infant loss), early motherhood and all major life transitions. My work centers on helping you make sense of your inner world — not rushing you to solutions.
Is This Support Right for You?
You may feel at home here if…
- You’re pregnant or a new mother experiencing emotions that feel confusing, heavy, or “unacceptable” — alongside love, joy, or relief.
- You’re noticing shifts in who you are, your identity, or your sense of self in this new phase of life.
- You want a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your feelings without pressure to fix or explain them.
- You’re navigating major life transitions and seeking support to reconnect with yourself and your inner wisdom.
This may not be the right fit if…
- You’re looking for quick fixes, step-by-step instructions, or advice-based solutions.
- You need urgent medical or emergency care.
- You’re not ready to pause, reflect, or explore what’s happening inside you.
