Dr Menna Rose

Menna is a HCPC registered Counselling Psychologist who is passionate about working with those whose difficulties are stopping them from living the most fulfilling life that they want to lead. Menna prioritises nurturing down to earth and trustworthy relationships so that you can feel safe to explore your concerns in an environment that is empathic and free from judgment. Menna has been trained in a number of different therapeutic models that she carefully integrates together throughout the therapy process. As part of this integrative approach, Menna places great value in building a collaborative understanding of how your current difficulties, thoughts or feeling might have arisen in the context of your past. Our early relationships and experiences can greatly influence how we relate to ourselves, others and the world around us, and developing insight into these experiences can be an important step towards making meaningful and long-lasting change. Menna is also able to help you develop a better understanding of how your difficulties might be maintaining themselves in your present, everyday life, and if needed, Menna is skilled at helping her clients adapt unhelpful thinking patterns and belief systems so that you can begin to live a life that feels more in line with who you really are.

Menna has a wide range of experience working in a range of mental health settings, including NHS primary and secondary care settings, private clinics and charitable organisations. She works therapeutically with a wide range of difficulties and dilemmas which include (but are by no means limited to) anxiety, sadness and depression, low self-esteem, relationship and attachment concerns, and developmental traumas. Her core training has been in psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural and person-centred therapies, and she is currently undergoing training in EMDR therapy in order to further develop her trauma-informed practise. In line with her doctoral research, Menna is also interested in her clients’ somatic experiences and the powerful connections between physical and mental health, and with that, between body and mind.
