Mia Sarosi

  • I have over 15 years of experience of work as counsellor, therapist and coach in various roles and in different organisational settings - including counselling services, mental health charities and in private practice.

    Meeting and resolving the challenges in my own life were what prompted me to study psychology and to become a therapist. Over time, I realised many of my clients wanted to move forwards and make changes after resolving their deeper issues. This was my motivation to hone my coaching skills and integrate these into my practice. In recent years I have developed skills and training in the powerful, evidence based model of psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS). 

    Previously I worked for many years in the creative arts as a ceramic artist and illustrator, running a successful studio business. I’m also a qualified teacher and I’ve taught and run courses in a variety of subjects in colleges, in further education and in adult education.

  • Internal Family Systems Therapist (Level 1&2), Diploma in Transformative Coaching, Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, Postgraduate Diploma in Psychology, Master of Arts in Illustration, Post Graduate Certificate in Education, BA Hons Mathematics and Philosophy

    I’m registered with The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) and The International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine Association (IPHM).
