“Counselling & Wellbeing Support in Durham City & Worldwide”
Why I Created Conscious Minds
I created Conscious Minds to offer a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly heard. Life can leave us carrying a lot — stress, trauma, or the weight of everyday struggles — and it’s easy to lose touch with ourselves along the way.
​
Conscious Minds is here to give you the time and space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. Whether you’re looking for support through a difficult time, or simply needing room to breathe and take some time for you, this is a place where you don’t have to carry things alone.
​
Experience
Are you feeling stuck, frustrated, or unsure of your next steps? Struggling with grief, anxiety, or depression? You don’t have to face it alone.
​
I’m Toni (MBACP), a person-centred counsellor with experience supporting adults and young people across schools, universities, charities, and online in the UK.
As someone who is neurodivergent myself, I bring understanding and flexibility to the way I work, offering approaches that can be adapted to different needs. I have personal experience of endometriosis, which has led me to develop a specific interest in supporting others living with this condition. If this feels relevant to you, you can read more

I create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood, tailoring my approach to what works best for you. I’m a registered BACP member, hold a degree in Healthcare Practice, and have completed training in trauma healing and mind-body wellbeing.

How I Work
I work in a flexible, creative way, tailoring sessions to what feels right for you. This might be traditional counselling, or a combined counselling and wellbeing session using gentle practices such as mindfulness, sound therapy, or EFT — designed to fully meet your needs.
​
I also offer standalone wellbeing sessions for those who want support and tools for self-care, relaxation, and personal growth, without counselling.
Whatever approach we take, my focus is always on supporting you — helping you heal, grow, and rediscover balance in a way that feels nurturing, empowering, and right for you.
