My name is Mandy Dunne and I have lived in the Gloucestershire area for over twenty years. I moved from inner city Liverpool at ten years of age and was so moved by the beautiful outdoors and woodland walks. I love walking in our wonderful countryside as I find it makes me feel connected to this life experience; it feeds my soul. If this resonates with you, I also offer Walking and Talking therapy sessions.

I qualified as a counsellor in 2022 after many years working in Education. I'm very passionate about people having a voice and the freedom to speak their truth without judgement. My beliefs are, to be the best version of yourself and live a life that's true to your own values. I do counselling work as it is truly amazing to observe the changes people make as they start to reflect on who they are and what they want.

What you will find with me is a warm and friendly person who cares deeply about people. Family life is very important to me too. Im lucky to have both my parents who I see often and my wonderful daughter who travels with me to Cornwall and other places, exploring the wonderful beaches and coastal areas. 

I love the diversity of my clients which makes my counselling work so interesting. I have the ability to connect on a deeper level with people, where we work together with trust and mutual respect. Feeling that connection, when two people are in total harmony is a golden experience; that's when the magic happens. The trust grows deeper, the barriers dissolve and clients become more aware of what they are feeling.

Read a selection of  testimonials I have added from my client work. It is wonderful to hear how my clients have benefitted from their work with me; as much as I have grown, from meeting each and everyone of them.
