Milton Minds – Counselling in Crawley offers counselling, psychotherapy & conscious connected breathwork face-to-face and online.

At Milton Minds, I offer counselling, psychotherapy, and conscious connected breathwork to help you reconnect with yourself. Here, you can begin to heal emotional pain and create lasting change. Whether you’re in Crawley, West Sussex, or prefer online sessions, I provide a calm, confidential space. In our sessions you can explore your thoughts and feelings safely.
About your Counsellor
I am Nicola Hare dip.couns(accred), a level 6 psycho-therapeutic counsellor. Milton Minds was created as an umbrella for the different therapeutic ways of working with a variety of issues. While I generally specialise in anxiety reduction, my modalities allow me to work with with many presentations. These include ADHD, depression, thoughts of suicide, trauma and family / relationship difficulties and even chronic pain. For a full list and description please see Areas of Support.
I have been counselling in Crawley for over 4 years and before this I worked with groups to help reduce anxiety using the mindfulness for stress 8 week course. Currently, I am working towards both my supervision and my conscious connected breathwork diplomas.
As part of my practice I work with Homicide Victim Support to provide counselling in Crawley for bereaved family members.
My experience and training allow me to work both with tools to help you cope now as well as at the root causes of the current issue. Root causes for current struggles can be formed at a young age and generally reside unresolved in the body. Attending to these directly can help you to have more autonomy in your life and in your relationships.
Diversity & Inclusion
Anybody who feels ‘othered’ for any reason is welcome here. This includes being part of a minority or feeling as though you are generally on the outside of your friend and family groups.
Those who need to work beyond words are welcome too. We do not always have the words to describe our inner experience, and that is OK. You do not have to be able to put your experience into words for therapy to be effective.
Who do I see?
Support is available for individual adults and teens age 13 +. I tend to attract clients who have had CBT, EAP sessions or other limited sessions and looking to work more deeply on their issues. However, those completely new to counselling are welcome too. If you feel nervous or unsure, this is normal and we can take sessions at your pace. An initial call often helps to put anxious minds at ease.
Counselling can be such a unique, life changing journey and I look forward to walking it with you.

Milton Minds – Counselling in Crawley offers Counselling, Psychotherapy and Breathwork, what is the difference?
Counselling, Psychotherapy and Conscious Connected Breathwork are three very powerful ways of working. They can create change and growth in behaviour, thoughts and feelings.
Counselling is a talking therapy that tends to help with short-term blips. Strengthening resilience and learning new coping strategies is usually the main focus.
Psychotherapy is a talking therapy that includes somatic work with the body and can help with repeating patterns or longer term issues. It works at the source and is often mid to long-term work.
Breathwork works predominantly with the body, altering consciousness through an active breath technique to allow the unconscious and unresolved to emerge. In this altered state, your body can intuitively heal and bring to your consciousness what it needs to in that moment.

What issues can Milton Minds – Counselling in Crawley help me with?
Transactional Analysis allows me to work at the root cause for a number of different symptoms. Whatever are right now, I always put the person before the symptoms. We can work concurrently with your struggles today and with the aforementioned deeper root causes. For a list and descriptions of issues I work with please visit Areas of Support.
Whether you opt for Counselling & Psychotherapy or Conscious Connected Breath-work; reducing your current suffering and overcoming your current struggle is just the beginning. You are capable of healing, connecting to yourself and other people, and flourishing with peace and autonomy.
Click on Counselling & Psychotherapy or Conscious Connected Breathing to see how each can help you to make those lasting changes that may seem elusive right now. We can talk these through in more detail in our initial phone chat if you are unsure.
Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counselling is often short-term work to strengthen current resources to cope better with a temporary issue. Psychotherapy is often longer-term work to help repeating patterns, trust issues, addiction, past trauma, feelings you cannot put words to, and deep, limiting beliefs.
Conscious Connected Breathwork
For nervous system regulation and emotional release. A beyond words, deep and embodied experience. Allow your unconscious to come to the foreground. There are some contraindications to this approach due to its physical nature.
Adolescence
Teen counselling age 13+ to create a space to explore emotions beyond the behaviour. Teen / parent workshops to use the relationship to improve mental health and sense of self. The workshop offers psych-ed and tools to help you understand and connect within your relationship.
