Ivannia is the heart and mind behind Mindful Perspectives Psychology and our unique, care-focused approach to each person. With over 15 years of experience and a wealth of knowledge, Ivannia works empathetically with clients in a range of tough circumstances - many of whom are feeling exhausted, frustrated, depleted, stuck, hopeless and simply ready to give up. She fills each session with kindness, compassion, validation and gentle connection first and foremost, before using her skills to move towards healing and recovery.
Ivannia believes in the powerful link between our past and present, recognising how they influence our future. She makes it a priority to truly understand each person, honoring their individual stories and experiences.
Ivannia's key strengths rest in helping her clients gain valuable insight and develop the skills needed to change recurrent patterns of unhelpful behaviour, thinking and relating that can often result in distress and dissatisfaction with oneself.
