About Blandine

Blandine Cummins works with people on relationships, parenting, self-esteem, career issues, depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and grief using a client-centred approach. She offers sessions in English and French and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of professional experience.

Blandine uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on listening and reflecting rather than giving direct advice. Sessions are for talking through feelings and making sense of difficult situations, so clients can consider new choices and perspectives. Conversations are intended to be non-judgemental and paced to each person.

Her background includes studies in psychology and counselling, and she developed an early interest in understanding how people see the world through music and writing. That curiosity led her into counselling and into the practice of helping others find clearer ways of relating to themselves and to others.

Blandine supports people facing loss and bereavement, relationship problems and divorce, low confidence, loneliness and work or study stress. She also works with issues such as addiction, body image, immigration concerns, ageing and geriatric questions, and communication problems.

She offers both short-term and open-ended sessions, adapting the length and focus to what each person needs. The emphasis is on reflecting on current difficulties, noticing unhelpful patterns and considering practical steps towards change.

Sessions are offered in person and online, and Blandine accepts international clients. To start, she asks people to think about what they want to change and to plan an initial meeting to discuss goals.

How her client-centred approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and reflecting back what a person says to help them understand their own feelings. It is useful for issues like relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, anxiety and life changes because it prioritises the person's perspective rather than offering direct advice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and how you like to work, and will help decide whether the person-centred way should remain the main focus or be combined with other supportive strategies. This is a collaborative process between client and counsellor.

Practical advantages of having sessions online include fitting meetings into a busy week and saving travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to attend from different locations and to arrange shorter or more frequent check-ins when life is hectic. The biography indicates she offers online sessions and face-to-face counselling, so confirm the exact session options and scheduling before booking to ensure they match your needs.
