Blandine Cummins, BACP

Blandine Cummins is a counsellor who supports people navigating big life shifts and emotional strain. She speaks English and French and works from the United Kingdom, offering a listening space that aims to be calm and non-judgemental. Blandine holds BACP credentials and brings four years of professional experience to her practice.

She uses a client-centred way of working, which means conversations focus on the person's own pace and priorities. Sessions aim to help people make sense of their feelings, and to consider choices that could lead to more satisfying daily life. Blandine often supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and grief.

Her background includes study in psychology and counselling, and a long-standing curiosity about how people experience the world differently. That interest informs a gentle style that encourages self-awareness and acceptance rather than quick fixes. Blandine describes counselling as a space to reflect, not a place for direct advice.

She is comfortable talking through issues such as coping with life changes, intimacy-related concerns, anger, and stress linked to work or study. Additional focus areas listed include ageing and geriatric issues, body image, addiction, communication problems and isolation or loneliness.

Blandine offers both shorter-term and open-ended work depending on what each person needs. If someone prefers to move at their own speed, she adapts the pace and structure to fit that preference. The emphasis is on helping people find clarity and make choices that feel right for them.

Client-centred work and online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the work. The counsellor offers attentive listening and reflects back what the person shares, helping them to notice feelings and make sense of their experience. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and questions about life direction.

Because Blandine uses a client-centred style, she focuses on building a trusting working relationship first and then explores what matters most to the person. Together they decide which topics to focus on and how sessions should progress, so the plan grows from the person's own goals and preferences.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, such as during breaks from work or when travel is difficult. The original profile mentions online and face-to-face work, so please confirm the exact session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions reduce travel time, allow more flexible scheduling and can make regular check-ins simpler to maintain. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists typically use these practical benefits to help people sustain momentum between sessions.
