Hello, I'm Bettina, welcome to Mind Solution Therapy. Are worry and overthinking starting to impact your wellbeing? Are you noticing that things from your past are still impacting your life today? Do you need a safe and calm space to talk openly about what’s been on your mind—whether it’s emotional challenges, relationship, or family issues, or simply feeling stuck? I’m here to help you make sense of your thoughts and feelings. I work with the whole person—mind and body—integrating creative approaches alongside traditional talking therapy.
My work is guided by a simple understanding: the mind and body are deeply connected, and that trauma and emotional pain are often held within the body. I deliver both short-term and long-term therapy, available online or in person. My approach is primarily Person-Centred, complemented by CBT and mindfulness techniques, tailored to your unique needs and pace.
I have experience supporting clients with trauma, grief, bereavement, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, burnout, domestic violence, narcissistic abuse, and relationship dynamics. If you prefer face-to-face sessions, currently I’m based in Birtley, conveniently located near Chester-Le-Street, Gateshead, Sunderland, and Durham.
