Minoo Briscoe - NHS Team Leader Sutton
Minoo Briscoe is passionate about empowering people who are struggling with issues within their lives. The approach she uses is integrative, which means she is trained in a combination of counselling approaches, including person-centred and solution-focused therapy. She aims to provide a safe, relaxing, non-judgemental, quiet space for her client to explore issues within their life.
After several years in retail and other industries, Minoo has worked with a vast amount of people with diversity, listening to their needs and empathising with them. Minoo feels that she can offer essential insights informed by her day-to-day experience within a range of careers and focus areas.
Minoo has experienced seeing many people walk away lighter, freer, and excited to live their own personal journey after healing from wounds, disorders, and obstacles in their path. She feels that there is nothing better than seeing a human being alleviated from emotional, psychological, spiritual and relational pain.
Minoo is a qualified counsellor and a member of the BACP. She draws upon her own experiences to now mentor and manage other therapists within her role as NHS Clinical Team Leader for Wandsworth.
I started this process with very little self-esteem or even like for myself. Minoo helped me be more understanding of myself and even start to like myself. Without this help I would inevitably still be in a terrible place.
These sessions have dramatically changed my outlook and questioned my perspectives on life. They have guided me to reconnect to a sense of purpose, to unpack all of the complexities I could not make sense of. Minoo has so eloquently supported me on a journey to unlock and give myself permission to process my grief. To look into those darker corners with strength and pride. To take on new opportunities by believing in myself again. I am so grateful that I was given this service, to support my mental health at such a rocky and devastating time. Thank you Minoo for all of your time, energy and awareness, I will forever hold onto the newfound reflections these sessions have provided for my current and future self.
I was sceptical on how effective therapy would be but seeing as my life was a total mess with me having no joy, no hope and no clue on how to deal with it I thought I may as well give it a go. I’m extremely happy I did. On 28th of September, which was the day before my first session, I was as low as could have possibly got – I didn’t want to socialise, I didn’t want to go to work, I didn’t want have any contact with anyone to the point where I had hardly been outside the house for the best part of a year! With Minoo’s help however, my life has changed dramatically. She managed to get me to ask questions of myself – questions I would never have even thought about without her assistance – and I now feel empowered enough to make drastic changes. Now I’m not going to say that my life is now perfect and there is quite a way to go but for the first time in a long time (and by long I mean at least 6 years) I feel like I have the ability and the strength to change things around. Like I said at the beginning, I was sceptical on how effective Therapy would be but after the sessions I’ve had with Minoo for the last 3 months I would recommend it (and have been) to anyone who is struggling with there mental health as she has really helped my to turn things around!
Thank you Minoo – you really have helped me more that I can put into words!
