Rukhsana Manir

Registered Counselor

“An experienced, competent and compassionate client - centred Counsellor working predominantly with Adults, Organisations and the Elderly.”

About Me

As a compassionate and client-centred Registered Counsellor, I work with adults, organisations, and the elderly. I offer a safe, confidential space where you can explore concerns and find clarity. My experience helps individuals navigate life changes, while supporting groups to foster healthier dynamics. We can collaboratively develop practical strategies, helping you move forward with confidence.

Approach

Experience guides how I work: a steady, practical pace that balances safety with forward movement, gently matched to each person's needs. I meet people in Burton upon Trent and online in English, offering flexible appointments and clear check-ins so progress feels manageable between sessions. Sessions typically begin with careful assessment and move into collaborative planning — practical strategies, advocacy where needed, and short mindfulness practices to anchor difficult moments. Those facing loss, burnout or recovery from abuse often find this straightforward, supportive way of working helpful.
