KIND Words from my THERAPY CLIENTS

  • "With Stephanie being a patient listener, its been easy for me to find my voice. And this has helped me find the courage to speak up, be heard and (slowly) be seen in my personal life and in the work place.”

    Jo

  • "Healing is not linear and creating new thought patterns is not easy. With Stephanie’s support I worked through my most vulnerable times to allow me to come out the other side as the best version of myself."

    Val

  • “Therapy with Stephanie has facilitated me to understand past traumas and helped me develop sustainable strategies that I will carry throughout my whole life; especially around learning healthy ways to deal with conflict and emotions.”

    Chloe

  • “I felt accepted without judgement and listened to. I’m really happy that I came to see Stephanie and I have gained some valuable insights and tools to help myself going forward.”

    Nathan

  • Stephanie provided me with the tools to be able to find some relief from symptoms on my own, through yoga. Stephanie has had a huge impact on my acceptance of myself in terms of body image (home/grounding) and self-care in a broader sense as in her sessions I was able to find stillness and to sit with grief/sadness/warmth and loving. Yoga therapy has been a catalyst to good and hopefully lasting changes. Stephanie is quite remarkable as a yoga therapist and I have come away feeling most fortunate."

    Ria

  • “I felt overwhelmed and out of control of my thoughts and body with anxiety. Stephanie was incredibly welcoming, listened carefully to my needs and emotions. and ensured sessions were personalised and relevant for me. Stephanie was patient and supported the process to enable it to be thought provoking, reflective and compassionate. The feelings and emotions I have experienced during these sessions are indescribable. There were aspects from each session which I took away to integrate into my daily routines. Yoga therapy isn't just a one off session, it has potential to be life changing.”

    Kate

“Steph is so helpful and patient and kind; Steph is a great listener and has helped me work through so much in a short space of time. The sessions were personal to me and my needs and I totally reignited my relationship with myself, my body, yoga and movement. Steph truly helped me rediscover the magic of yoga and my magic within.”

REFLECTIONS FROM YOGA PSYCHOLOGY WORKSHOPS

  • Becky

    “I felt really energised (which is very rare for me, having long covid) and I was feeling really drained prior to coming. Felt energised for the next day too!

I found it a really safe space and felt really connected to myself and others afterwards! The best feelings!”

  • Sarah

    “I really liked the combination of reflecting, journaling, movement and relaxation. I also really liked the space and how there was time/space to chat before and after the yoga. Absolutely loved it and will come again!”

  • Sam

    “I really enjoyed the chance to slow down and reflect while moving my body. I loved the integration of journaling and movement.”

    ISABELLE

  • “As someone new to working with clients through CBT, supervision with Dr Minchin has offered many light bulb moments that I would not have had through classes. Feedback feels collaborative and her professionalism and compassion are what I strive to embody with clients.”

    JAMES, PSYCHIATRY CORE TRAINEE

  • “Supervision from Steph was brilliant! I really valued her warm, thoughtful and knowledgeable approach. She gave me the space to become a more reflective practitioner to consider the wider social contexts and my own biases. I gained more confidence for integrative working and found my voice in psychology. Steph created a safe space where I felt comfortable being open and honest about myself and my client’s needs.”

    SAM, TRAINEE CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST

  • “Dr. Minchin is highly knowledgeable, thoughtful and holistic in her approach and was adept at managing clinical complexity. Dr. Minchin greatly helped me to develop CBT skills and was skilled at considering psychodynamic aspects of my case and issues of transference and countertransference. Dr. Minchin had a great knowledge of appropriate resources, encourages reflection and stimulates the creation of new ideas for therapy.”
