Blandine Cummins, BACP

Blandine Cummins is a counsellor who brings a reflective, client-centered approach to helping people navigate difficult moments in life. She holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has completed a Level 4 CPCAB counselling qualification, a recognised UK training award. With four years of professional experience, Blandine works in both English and French and provides support through online and face-to-face sessions.

Curiosity about how others perceive the world has informed her journey into counselling. Early interests in music and songwriting gave way to formal study in psychology and counselling, deepening her understanding of emotions, reactions and interpersonal dynamics. That background contributes to a practice that values differences between people as a pathway to connection rather than division.

Working from a client-centered framework, Blandine emphasizes empathy, acceptance and emotional support while guiding people to explore their thoughts and feelings. Her role is to create a reflective space where clients can increase self-awareness, consider new options and make meaningful choices that align with their goals and values.

She has experience assisting with relationship and parenting concerns, self-esteem and confidence, career issues, depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, grief and intimacy-related matters, anger, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include ageing and geriatric issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, drug and alcohol addiction, loneliness, immigration and infidelity, among others.

Blandine offers both shorter-term and open-ended work tailored to individual needs, aiming to be flexible so people can find the format and pace that suit them. Her practice centers on supporting and empowering clients as they explore what is happening in their lives and take steps toward greater understanding and wellbeing.
