Blandine Cummins , BACP

Blandine Cummins is a counsellor who supports people facing relationship strain, low self‑esteem, anxiety and life transitions. She works in English and French and offers sessions online across the United Kingdom and internationally. Blandine aims to create a calm space where people can speak openly and feel heard without judgement.

She trained in psychology and counselling and holds BACP registration, and she brings four years of professional experience to her practice. Blandine often draws on her own curiosity about how people experience the world to inform gentle, human-centred conversations.

In sessions she listens carefully and follows each person’s pace. Conversations focus on understanding patterns, clarifying values and spotting small, practical changes that feel manageable. She does not give direct advice but helps people make their own choices more clearly.

Blandine commonly works with issues such as depression, stress, grief, trauma and relationship concerns including intimacy and infidelity. She also supports people with parenting pressures, work or career worries, body image and the emotional effects of ageing.

People who choose her work towards finding more satisfying ways of relating to themselves and others. Blandine offers both short-term and open-ended therapy options and adapts the rhythm of sessions to what each person needs. She encourages honest self-reflection and practical steps that fit everyday life.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the process. The therapist listens without judgement and reflects what they hear to help people find their own answers. This approach suits issues like anxiety, low self‑esteem, grief and relationship concerns where feeling heard is the first step to change.

Blandine will work collaboratively to find the right way forward. Together they will discuss goals, try different ways of working and adjust approaches based on what feels helpful. The choice of pace and focus is shared so the work fits each person’s needs and preferences.

Online formats make this flexible and accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option if bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping the therapeutic relationship central.
