About the Counsellor

NOMIN Altanzurkh

I have studied and completed the Bachelor of Counselling at Griffith University, Australia, in 2021. Currently, I am studying my postgraduate study, Master of Counselling (research) at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. It has been four years since I worked in my profession, mainly providing bilingual individual counselling services to teenagers and adults.

After completing my undergraduate study in Australia, I returned home to begin my practice. At the Institute of Applied Psychology, I co-facilitated group counselling for teenagers under senior counsellor supervision. Then, I worked as a school counsellor at the British School of Ulaanbaatar, where I provided individual and group counselling services to students in both English and Mongolian.

Following my departure from BSU to the UK, I created "Nomin Counselling," my private online counselling practice, in response to client demand. Through my website, I offer bilingual services to better serve Mongolia's global citizens.

During my time in the UK, I expanded my perspective by working as a Teaching Assistant for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and complex social-emotional mental health needs. At the same time, I started offering part-time online counselling services through Blindcare, a Mongolian app that provides text and video counselling.

I currently live with my husband and our baby. In my free time, I enjoy drawing, reading, practising yoga, journalling, decorating our home, and playing board games. I wish to learn more about gardening, including caring for plants, flowers, fruits, and vegetables. Additionally, I have a passion for all things eco-friendly and environmentally conscious.

Why did I choose to become a counsellor?

During my adolescent years, I began to experience various difficult emotions that I couldn’t understand or manage. At the time, I believed my parents wouldn’t comprehend what I was going through, and I didn't want to add to their worries. Additionally, our school did not have a psychologist or counsellor available to talk to. I noticed many of my peers facing similar challenges, with some enduring even tougher situations. This realization inspired me to become a counsellor, dedicated to helping anxious minds better understand and manage their emotions. My goal is to guide others in growing into adults who care for their own emotional well-being as well as that of those around them.

What is my counselling approach?

I am a pluralistic counsellor which means that I try to use ideas and techniques from various models of therapy including Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to best suit the unique client. Collaboratively, we can formulate a treatment plan which is tailored to, and responsive to, your individual needs and unique circumstances. I am deeply person-centred in my core which means that my approach values the quality of the therapeutic relationship we co-create as being key to developing positive change. This philosophy also deems that I will offer conditions and attitudes which I believe are conducive to bringing about positive personal change for you. I will offer you non-judgemental acceptance, warmth, respect, understanding, openness and honesty.
