Menique works with clients with a vast array of concerns, life challenges and presenting issues. She has a particular interest and passion in applying the totality of her professional skills to support her clients in getting back on track to live fulfilling lives, which they may have lost touch with as a result of various life events or situations during their unique life journey. 

Menique is outcome focused whilst remaining genuine and warm. She is empathetic and insightful about being able to support clients on a journey of growth and change and so, regain their empowerment and voice with a new set of practical skills. Clients can then learn strategies and tools to both resolve conflict and adversity with resilience and maintain a new sense of self and self-esteem, confidence and self-worth. Menique believes the process of change starts with a unique and collaborative relationship between therapist and client which enables the client’s own unique change process. This process starts within with exploration, self-awareness and understanding, then moves outwards with removal of barriers and exploring new possibilities.

Menique combines a number of therapeutic frameworks to support her clients to bring about change. This enables and empowers her clients to transform their lives and relationships and achieve the outcomes they need. Her therapeutic modalities include Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Recovery-Oriented & Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Conflict Resolution, Mindfulness & Meditation techniques.
